Had a PLC 5/40 kick the bucket early this morning and we will have to replace it with a 5/60 as we have no more 5/40 processors.
When I download I get prompted to convert to 5/60 and I proceed but then DH+ comms don't work.
All the remote racks on RIO work fine and everything runs fine as far as machine operation just no DH+ comms so conneced via serial cable currently.
The Original 5/40 program used Chanel 1A for DH+ comms and was set to Node 11 with a Baud rate of 57.6 kbaud.
After I convert to 5/60 and go online via serial cable I notice channel 1 is set to Node 10 and 230.4 kbaud
Also even when offline and linx not running I can't change this in the program as it's grayed out of which I could not make sense of.
has anyone here ever seen this before or similar. I also tried another 5/60 so it's not a bad unit.
