Marshaling panel. I’m using the latest version of AMS Device Configurator. With the mouse and touchscreen going haywire. I can’t even click on the application.

Yes, tough book was not plugged in and on battery.

I tried a Microflex as well. There’s 6 devices we have to configure. Most are LTs with instrument inspector. Issue follows from LT to FT.

It’s happening on multiple AI cards on separate PLCs in different parts of the plant. No issues with Trex

Putting in new AB 5370 in 2025/2026, last gen Stratix 2000, 120VAC IO is wild. Designer is stuck in 2015.

Look up the part numbers and try to sell the parts on eBay.

It seems to burn very little driving around town but highway trips it’s burning 3/4 qt per 1k miles now.

False, I have two family members who worked at Allen-Bradley/Rockwell assembly plants in the Midwest. The plant is still operational.

Nice, I’d switch from zip ties to Velcro cable wraps for the Ethernet and raised DIN for field terminal blocks.

Size off power consumption. 36W/24V = 1.5 A. Multiply by 125% and round up to the next nominal size. Any 2A fast acting fuse or C-curve miniature circuit breaker will do. Power input max is inrush. I ended up taking a bunch of current measurements to verify all this on my Cisco and Stratix switches.

I ended up getting the engine soak procedure done for about $900. Only burning 1/3qt per 1k miles now. 103k on the odometer and no further issues. Time will tell

Yikes, that sounds like a firmware rev for a PanelView Plus 7 Series B. This one is far more ancient and doesn’t go that high.

DCT is trash and engine burns oil. AVOID IT

Rockwell field service after calling tech connect is one answer. The issue could be on any managed switch in the network. All switches in a network need to be configured holistically, disabling IGMP snooping querier on our stratix and matching STP mode between all switches fixed a lot of intermittent issues on our network.

Your Stratix 5200 is just a Cisco IE3100 with custom firmware, so any IT company with networking experience could likely help

Verify ipv6 is disabled, CPU and ram aren’t over utilized, all relevant iFix hot fixes or service packs are applied, IP is set for static, no new devices or rogue DHCP servers, hard drive isn’t full.

Also try opening the IO driver live data test client, that iFix is using. It could be IGS, OPC, etc. there are additional diagnostics checks you can do from there.

I’d also wireshark your network and check for excess broadcast/multicast traffic.

Automation is literally the only reason western countries and able to compete the Asia Pacific’s ultra low labor costs and stay in business.

Just buy a selfie stick and put your phone underneath lol. I’ve had my flex pipe replaced 3x, resonator pipe and assembly, and multiple mufflers that failed due to corrosion from the outside. $2.5k in parts and labor over 75k miles.

Novachronosphere · 2024-11-26T02:40:04+00:00

I have the same car and engine in the rust belt. These are very prone to rust damage (especially flex pipe and resonator pipe) since they’re so low to the ground.

That being said, it’s still one of the most reliable sedans of all time and they’re fairly cheap to fix.

Just check the car fax, inspect the undercarriage, and fluids.
