I have a TI545 PLC communicating over Profibus to a AB ControlLogix PLC (for anyone who read my last post, the Profibus cable was wired incorrectly).
The comms are definitely working as I can manually write values into the output words of each PLC and see the input in the other PLC.
However, the ladder logic in the TI does not appear to be getting scanned. It definitely was working yesterday when I was first testing as I was just copying the input word into the output word to check comms easily. At some point though, it stopped scanning - even the 'Always On' bit which was already existing in the code is off. This is the case even if I download the original code.
Anyone got any ideas? Massive newbie to TI's, but can't see what could be wrong. PLC is definitely in RUN mode - Loop mode is in RUN, Ladder mode is in RUN. Have tried power cycling, using the Power Up Restart, Partial Restart and Complete Restart options available in the PLC Operations window.
PLC isn't faulted (beyond a minor loop overrun fault), and running the diagnostics tool shows that everything is normal.
