Gamedawn Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I was working on a machine recently with a PMAC Lite (isa bus) and wanted to change the I900 value to 7. I typed the value in at the terminal but when I checked it the value had changed to 6. This happened every time I typed the value in and also happened with I905, etc. The board is running V1.16D firmware. Has anyone come across this problem before?

Omron Forums Support Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Does this happen if PLCs are disabled (Ctrl D), no motion programs running (Ctrl A), and no HMI running? Did you try reinitializing ($$$***)? Note, be sure to have a backup configuration. I was working on a machine recently with a PMAC Lite (isa bus) and wanted to change the I900 value to 7.

Gamedawn Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 It definitely happened after a reset and I'm fairly sure that when I tried it nothing else was running (plc's, motion progs, etc). In fact it was ater a reset and loading the config file that I first noticed the problem, because the config should have set I900=7. We also verified that the link settings are as they should be. Are there any settings that might cause this problem that I could have a look at next time I'm on site?

Omron Forums Support Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 There are no settings that would cause this. Possibly, there is a gate hardware issue. Can you change any of the other gate I-variables, e.g. I901 or I902? A quick test would be to close the HMI (anything that might write to PMAC), issue $$$*** Save $$$, and then see if you can change I900/I905. If you can, then some program is the culprit; otherwise, it looks like the PMAC is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamedawn Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Thanks for that. Next time I'm on site I'll try those things out. If it does turn out to be the Pmac at fault, can they still be repaired? There are no settings that would cause this. Possibly, there is a gate hardware issue.

Omron Forums Support Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Sorry, PMACs with ISA bus are no longer repaired, just PCI bus versions. PCI versions are also still in production.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
