RE: SLC 5/04 limit switch on a vibrating frame runs the compact step twice

That's the off side. Add the TOF like I said, T4:21, same preset, use its DN.

RE: DeviceNet 1747-SDN, nodes at the far end of a 300 m trunk drop at 250 kbps

Carl was right. The spare at node 24 was still on 250, its DIP switches were under a label and I never lifted it. Set it, cycled it, and the whole net...

Fresh assessment, she did it herself last month. So it's the whole thing. The mushroom already has a second NC block on it, never wired. Contactor is ...

TON in front of it. Rung: XIC I:3/5 into TON T4:20, time base 0.01, preset 3, so 30 ms. Then use T4:20/DN everywhere you used I:3/5 for the home signa...

RE: 1756-DNB error 78 on node 5 after replacing a DeviceNet valve manifold

Set the dials to 05, kill power to the manifold, bring it back. Node address is read at power up on most of them, not live. Nothing in RSNetWorx neede...

RE: 1756-L61 lost its program after a power outage, BAT LED had been red
