A PLC communication error happens when the PLC doesn’t respond to communication requests or responds negatively to such requests. A PLC communication error can occur between the programmable computer and the devices it controls or when the technician attempts to program the device from afar.
How do you fix a PLC?
First, check that the PLC is receiving enough power from the transformer to supply all the loads. If the PLC is still not working, check for voltage supply drop in the control circuit or for blown fuses. If the PLC does not come up even with proper power, then the problem lies in the CPU, and this is very bad.
What is the one way to clear a faulted PLC processor?
If the PLC has faulted, you can clear the fault with the programming software (RSLogix 500). Sometimes people set the PLC up so that you can cycle power and reset the fault, and return to run mode (it’s an option that has to be selected so it may or may not work on your PLC).
What causes a PLC to fault?
Common reasons why PLC control systems fail include module failure, power outages and bad network connections. PLC failure issues can also stem from overheating, moisture and electromagnetic interference.
What happens if a PLC fails?
Even if an industrial plant considers a UPS nonessential and a complete process stop is manageable in the event of a power outage, a PLC’s memory can be lost when the power fails. This can lead to loss of process data, but also complete loss of operational programs.
