To follow up on the problem we had, it was determined that it was because the integrator, who built the cell, was (physically) cutting the 24VDC on the outputs in addition to turning the outputs off. We had the safety side of the cell analyzed to see if we could stop physically cutting the 24v outputs ...

See my answers in Bold letters below I assume the Wireshark was from a port mirror on port 12? YES it is It seems we have multiple clues to indicate the 1732ES is rebooting: LED indicators on 1732ES We will try to capture this with a camera Wireshark traffic abruptly ends, restarts ...

Philip, We already take a look to that tech note about that maximum messages limit. But we are not communicating with that I/O block by MSG instruction so I don't think it is apply to our case. Maybe an update of the firmware can still help us? I saw on RA Website that the version 1.012 is the ...

As you can see on the image below, there are 4 devices connected to port 12 of the switch (all in daisy chain). 10.64.68.47 et.48 (1732 ES Safety I/O blocks) 10.64.68.49 and .50 (Lenze Drives) When we loose communication with the 1st or 2nd device in the chain, we also lose communication with downstream ...

Hi Philip, I try to include a copy of the wireshark capture we were able to make this morning when communication was lost with one of our 1732 ES blocks. I can't insert the file here because is not a "supported files" I will send you the file for analysis. On line #202908, I believe this is where ...

Thank you Philip, What does T-Specs means? I assume that pps is for Packet Per Second? So, if I understand correctly, this means that this module (1732ES) is not as sensitive to loss of connections as a 525 drive? ------------------------------ Francis Audet ----------------------------- ...

We have several 1732ES modules that randomly lose communication with the safety PLC because they are shutting down. We tried to decrease the traffic on the network to see if too much traffic could be the cause but we continue to have communication losses. I found some technote related to random loss ...
