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

[@abplctestbench759]

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)
