Loading...What to do if I get PLC timeout errors on my GE VersaMax PLC Controller?
PLC Timeout Errors can occur due to heavy SRTP traffic, long PLC sweep time or PLC Communication Window set to LIMITED mode. To resolve this: * Reduce the size, number, or frequency of SRTP requests at the remote SRTP client. * Modify the PLC application to reduce the PLC sweep time. * Change to RUN-TO-COMPLETION mode.
Why does my GE VersaMax PLC Controller have unexpected Ethernet restarts or runtime errors?
Unexpected Ethernet Restart or Runtime Errors may happen because sustained heavy EGD and/or SRTP operation can exceed the data transfer and processing capacity of the CPUE05, especially when the CPUE05 is connected to a repeater-type network hub. Consider these solutions: * Replace the repeater-type hub with a switching-type network hub. * Reduce the number, size, or frequency of the EGD exchanges and/or transfers over SRTP connections.
What to do if I get receive resource exhaustion errors on my GE VersaMax PLC?
Receive resource exhaustion errors occur when heavy EGD traffic exhausts network data buffers or bursts of heavy network traffic are received at the CPUE05. To fix this, you can modify the application to reduce the number, size, or frequency of produced and consumed EGD exchanges. Alternatively, analyze the broadcast and multicast network traffic received at the CPUE05 and reduce such traffic if possible.
