I am using a SLC 5/03 processor with the following config:
A13 RACK
1746-P2
1746-IM16-3nos.
1746-OW16-3nos.
1746-NI8-1 no.
1746-NR4-1 no.
1746-NT4-1 no.
1747-KFC15-1 no.
1746-HSCE2-1 no.
The SLC frequently faults while in RUN mode. At first the problem was with the NR4 module showing fault that all channels are open-circuit. I tried changing the slot position, sensors, but was unsuccessful.(2 RTD modules failed). I used PT100 to 4-20 mA converters at last to overcome the problem. Things then went well for 7-8 days.
But now the problem has recurred again with the 1746-NT4 module. The fault message says "Speciality I/O module in slot 9 has created a generic error." The fault resets on recycling of power. The SLC faults frequently; about 5-10 times per day.
I am rather confused as to where the source of the problem might be. I checked the wiring, rewired the SLC and control power cables, fitted in locally available line filters(230VAC). I even changed the 1746-P2 power supply but in vain.
Please detail on what might be the reason for this. Can the problem be with the Processor itself. Please help
I need to fix this urgently!!!
Thanx.
