I fought a mass meter today on a Ctr8 that wouldn’t give any feedback on 2 channels. I swapped it with a channel that was working and the problem moved. How can i verify this channels are getting feedback
HI: Normally my experience if the problem moves it is the input device. Take a spare input device - disconnect the field device at the PLC and hook the spare up to the card. Then see if you have the readings from the new device. (If you don't get a reading from the new device then it is the module - replace it.) Reconnect the field device. Go to a junction box close to the field device - disconnect the field device and hook on you now known spare device. If you get the readings at that point it is a safe bet that the original field device is dead. This is the standard 'divide and conquer' technique.
@@abplctestbench759 we had a short on a machine frame and had several devices get fried. What’s strange about this one card is it has 4 devices on it and we originally lost 3/4. We replaced them now 1/3 doesn’t work. We moved that one to a another channel and it didn’t work there either.
@@joew4202 Hi: Still sounds like you have bad field wiring or devices to me. Without being there it is really hard to guess from my end. (You can buy me a plane ticket and I can come for a visit🤣 to see if I can help)
So good! Amazing! Congtat's!!!
Thank you
@@abplctestbench759 you're Welcome!
@@abplctestbench759 Is it possible for you to configure this module in the Rslogix 5000 or STUDIO 5000 software?

Yes but you have to download the Add on Profile from the Spectrum site as noted in the comments below the video.
@@abplctestbench759 sure. Thanks!!!
