RE: 755TL - is the SFP DDM/DOM information available?

Fiber tests fine using Fluke Certifier. I have restored function before by reseating but yesterday that was not required. Or maybe the signal just made it over the functional limit. The symptoms have all the earmarks of a dirty or bad SFP but without testing its just parts swapping and as random as this ...

755TL - is the SFP DDM/DOM information available?

I have 5 new VFDs , 1 with an ongoing series of what appear to be fiber based errors, todays being 14103/14088. The Fiber LEDs were green and happy when I got to it and the only way to clear it was to power cycle the drive. It's not frequent but it' repeating and has been an issue since commissioning. ...

Isn't Limiting supposed to do what the note says? Why do I have this drifting output value?. The input is below min so the output should be 0.0 ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ------------------------------

So the only way to prevent logging is to fake a signal? Great job there RA. Thanks Fuzz ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ------------------------------

Construction is nearly finished on a pump station that has 5 of these. Owner has asked for a way to turn the fans OFF on the drives that aren't running to prevent useless wear and noise. Only a max of 2 at a time will ever run for a month at a time so the request makes some sense. The idle drives are ...

Since the timers use wall clock as their sourceI would think that anytime you break the continuous operation of the PLC the timer values would become suspect to some degree. ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ------------------------------

That reason for nesting makes sense but I am not right clicking anything before creating them. It might have had the cursor focus from a previous "move to back" or "move to front" action. I will pay closer attention. As for a static image I also would greatly prefer that option because I can make ...

1. Can the padlocks on the screen in edit mode be turned off? I think I get what they are for but they are cluttering the view in a complex drawing . 2. What am I doing that causes this nesting? I am not intentionally doing this but it does seem to have something to do with the back to front ordering. ...
