A long story,
I require some clarification and I'm hoping the Allen Bradley experts on this site can help.
A while ago I asked about upgrading my 1756-L61 processor V16.22 to a 1756-L73, due to filling up the memory - but owing to possible compatability issues with the running system, I decided to go for a 1756-L63 (i know they are obsolete).
When the new (brand new) 1756-L63 arrived I had asked for it to be flashed with V16, it came with V16.24 (I can't find V16.22 anywhere on Rockwells website).
The program was loaded and run up in production, no problem, however, after around 3 days the processor faulted with the red LED on solid and I was unable to access it to find out why.
It was sent back to the supplier who some how got it running again on their test rig, so they sent it back, I then placed it in my test rig, loaded the program and run it up, again no problem, until around 5 days later where its done the same thing, solid red LED and totally bricked.
They are now saying that it the program doing this, because when the program is loaded into the L63 a dialog message appears, and says do you want to convert the program from L61 to L63 and that there may be some instruction issues between the two. (this just seems to be a general message because of a processor change)
What do you think? is this possible or are they having a laugh?
