I am being sent to another plant to help out. All their help left. They have a new huge assembly line that is in startup. It has problems with the Device Net. It is controlled by Control Logix. I am not an Allen Bradley trained person. I have not used or even seen Device Net or Control Logix. As close as I can tell, there is no documentation, no manuals, no support from the local distributor (hardware was bought out of state). There may be software on the laptop, maybe not. I don't know if control logix is PC based, plc, or ?
I can probably find the program and access it if it is in the laptop. If not, I'll probably have to wing the whole repair. We had some Six net plcs in our plant, with no access to the program, and no documentation.
Are there any basics that I need to know? Is it like conventional ladded logic? Does it do anything special?
I am expected to go in, have a laying of the hands, and all will work. I am lost, and do not have a clue were to start. I am not even allowed to look in the door until the morning I am to report. I told them that this is utterly ridiculous. Their reply was "are you saying that you are declining your assigned work assignment". Does anyone need a clarification on what that means?
Thanks for any advice. There is no internet access allowed at that plant. Actually, not much IS allowed there.
