I teach a PLC class that includes a DeviceNet portion. During this portion, I have my students set node numbers for various DeviceNet smart devices. I have been having problems with a lot of sensors failing recently, particularly the stainless steel prox switches (871TM-D5ED18-D5).
I've heard that flash memory has a limited lifespan with regards to the number of times you can write to it. So I'm wondering if having my students change the addressess and configuration each class is causing these switches to fail. Can someone shed some more light on if this is possible or not?
