Hi All, time for me to ask a question,...
I have a PLC5/80 with an existing Flex I/O rack 13 on RIO (1794-ASB), with 5 digital cards already installed and working.
I need to add an analog input card 1794-IE8, but due to the panel layout I am using an extender cable (1794-CE1).
When the card is installed this way (slot 5) there is no response using BTW/BTR, but if I relocate it to slot 0, then it works fine.
I am now trying this on the bench, as I cannot shuffle the I/O in the panel.
Question is - is there an issue using Flex I/O analog cards and extender cables, as that is what my initial studies suggest?
I am away to play about with the position of the cable/slots/cards to try further diagnostics to solve the issue, and I have raised a service ticket with Rockwell (they have only given me a standard response - check knowledgebase - which I have).
Thanks in advance for any help/input/suggestions.
