I know this is an old thread, but I've started to experience the same symptoms on a PLC with lots of expansion IO units. This has been working fine for nearly 2 years, and all of a sudden it randomly stops working with the ERR light flashing. How did you troubleshoot the faulty hardware, and was it the actual PLC at fault or one of the IO/expansion units??

Hi Don't know if this is still active but thought I'd throw my two pence in.... You never mentioned what type of TSX17 it is eg TSX17-10 or TSX17-20?? If using a TSX17-10 or a TSX17-20 without a language cartridge you must use PL7-1. PL7-2 is only for TSX17-20 with a language cartridge. Other than that everyhting else that the other members have said should work. It may be worth looking for a proper cable but I know I have made up cables in the past and they have worked. I will see if I can come across a known cable makeup.

Hi I have started a new job and the first task I was given was to make a complete backup of an existing IFix 3.0 project and restore it to a new PC that I have a clean version of IFix installed on. What do I need to backup and how do I do the backup restore process. I need to backup everything including tags, network setup, security etc... If anyone has ANY training manuals or info on it I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks all
