Hi,
I've got an intermittant fault on a machine.
I have 5 identical machines, 4 work, one has a fault that appears every 5/10 mins.
THe fault is the safety system drops out, all the guards report being open, E/stops pushed, yet no one has touched them.
All the affected guards/stops are on a remote guard i/o connected over ethernet.
The machine runs well for a few mins so the fault is unlikely to be the program. I've put in a new cable and connectors from the main panel to the remote i/o but it made no difference.
Now I'm stuck.
Any ideas?
