Hello Board,
I'm doing some demo work at my desk, trying to teach myself how to map devicenet network drives on an older SLC 500 control system...
We have a bunch of old Reliance drives on our device networks that have recently gone obsolete and I'm working on learning how to upgrade these drives to a PF 525 setup...
I've done quite a bit of work and I think I've figured out how to map the new drives by referencing reports generated from the current network, but now I'm trying to actually test this offline to make sure I can make the new drive work with current SLC 500 program...
I've got a spare SLC 500 (4 slot) rack on my desk and powered up. I've got a 1747 scanner card installed, one input card, and one output card... I've also got a demo .5 hp 525 from a local supplier with a motor onboard so I can test the drive functions...
I'm trying load one of my current line programs onto this SLC 500 on my desk and no matter what I do I can't get the program to download. I keep getting a dialog box that says "Program has errors. Can not download!"
The current line program has two 7 slot racks so I opened the program up and went to I/O configuration and ran a read I/O function there. It put the right rack configuration together to match my SLC 500 on my desk. I saved as that program and then tried to download the program and I get the above message...
Let me know if you have any questions or need any further information to be able to help guide me in the right direction...
Thanks,
John Whited
