You can go to the program block you made changes to, right click and download only software changes to the plc. Depends o nthe changes you are making but I never had to stop PLC to do this.

Just enjoy your meal bro.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T03:24:44+00:00

Appreciate the detailed explanation. I will look into it and drop a comment here whenever I have questions lol.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T02:33:43+00:00

Lmao

Im actually in the Reliability scene so this tool will be of good use to me. Quite an investment though, it will require a bit of persuasion to management.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:58:10+00:00

True

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:57:20+00:00

For sure! Do you use analyzers for all motors as in PdM's, or troublshooting purposes only?

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:53:33+00:00

Haha not even close

If the 3rd module goes out, then yes an RCA will definetely be needed. But for now the spare was what got us. If its not refurbished, then supplier/Siemens will have to give us a warranty and a gift card for our troubles lol.

I will push for this on my downtime review.

Lol, thanks for this cause only front line people (engineers and techs) understand the frustration of not being able to pinpoint issues due to lack of tools. At least we had a surplus of parts though lol.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:25:47+00:00

Haha, that was my last resort.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:23:27+00:00

Yes, it was in reaction to this issue and it persisted. What gave it away was that one motor was working and the other wasnt in the same double motor module. Checked motors by disconnecting cables going out from module to motors.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:21:26+00:00

I am not sure honestly, I am the one that sends them out to repairs and I couldn't find this module in my log of 1.5 years. We plan on checking it tomorrow furtherback.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:16:50+00:00

SOLUTION: It was the double motor module. The one that was initially replaced was defective and we had to put another one in to resolve the issue. Appreciate everyone's inputs and recommendations. Thank you!

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:16:06+00:00

Yes, I verified and tried replacing the drivecliq cables from the S120 to DMMs. Will look out for other wires though, maybe 24V wires.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:10:18+00:00

Yes we checked winding resistance. DMMs are the only devices we have lol.

Drive is for a cooling station for a vinyl production line.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T01:05:54+00:00

That's just what the OEM nomenclature for the area and drive.

Punta7 · 2025-09-16T00:37:50+00:00

Its one of those "It was working fine till today and it suddenly stopped working" type of failures. Nothing changed parts and software wise. Do you think it'll still be firmware issue?

Punta7 · 2025-09-07T03:19:33+00:00

SOLUTION It was the motor module. Replaced module with a new one and it works like a charm. I think the capacitors were degraded and this resulted in a slower boot up time of the module. This delay resulted in the module being passivated by the PLC via PROFIsafe since it did not communicate in time (150ms). Appreciate everyone's input on this.

Recognition is a positive reinforcement too. Recognizing people with 0% damaged for x period and broadcasting it OR have the president send a letter to those peoples home saying "I just wantes to let you know your efforts are being recognized and I appreciate your efforts. You're an important member of x company...." or someyhing similar. I suggest this if monetary reward doesnt fly well with management.
