Troubleshooting Communication Issues between SLC5/04 and Panel View on DH+ Network

Question:

Our compressors are equipped with an SLC 5/04 controller that utilizes DH+ for connectivity to the PanelView, Data Highway, and Hwl Experion SCADA channel. However, we are experiencing communication issues, resulting in the SLC being unable to communicate with the PanelView or SCADA system. The PanelView displays an error message stating: "No acknowledgement reading N:10.0- N10.65 from the SLC at station 2 on the DH+ driver."

ctrleng14 mentioned a connectivity issue with their SLC 5/04 compressors, which are linked to Panelview and Datahighway via DH+. This has caused a loss in communication with the Hwl Experion SCADA system. The error message on the Panelview indicates a lack of acknowledgment from the SLC at station 2 on the DH+ network. To resolve this issue, it is crucial to troubleshoot and identify the point of failure in the link. It is recommended to check if other devices on the DH+ network are communicating properly and to test by disconnecting devices and adjusting terminating resistors to pinpoint the faulty device or cable. If you are experiencing similar connectivity problems, consider following these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue efficiently.

Recently encountered a communication loss problem with DH+, which was successfully remedied by re-terminating a single node. The issue was caused by a short circuit, resulting in sudden communication loss despite the network functioning properly. Looking forward to the day when DH+ and DeviceNet technology are no longer in use before my retirement.

Is it possible to access the DH+ network online? Which nodes can be identified in RSLynx? Explore the online capabilities of the DH+ network and discover the various nodes displayed in RSLynx.

I appreciate everyone for their responses. By "installing" the termination resistor, the problem was successfully resolved. It seems that the EOL resistor may have been accidentally shorted.

It seems like there could be quite a few elements affecting your communication in this scenario. It's possible that your SLC 5/04 controller's firmware might need an upgrade, or there might be physical wear and tear on the DH+ network cables affecting the signal. There could also be an incorrect routing path setup for the PanelView or SCADA system. Alternatively, if you have recently made modifications to your network or device configurations, there might be some settings you need to revisit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

FAQ: 1. Question: What could be causing the communication issues between the SLC5/04 controller and PanelView on the DH+ network?

Answer: Answer: Communication issues can be caused by various factors such as incorrect network settings, faulty cables, improper addressing, or configuration mismatch between devices.

FAQ: 2. Question: How can I troubleshoot the "No acknowledgement reading N:10.0- N10.65 from the SLC at station 2 on the DH+ driver" error message on the PanelView?

Answer: Answer: To troubleshoot this error, check the network configuration, verify the addressing settings on both the SLC and PanelView, ensure proper cable connections, and confirm that the DH+ driver settings are correctly configured.

FAQ: 3. Question: Is there a specific protocol or communication setup required for the SLC5/04 controller to communicate with the PanelView and SCADA system on the DH+ network?

Answer: Answer: Yes, the SLC5/04 controller needs to be properly configured with the correct DH+ network settings, including node addressing, baud rate, and communication protocol to establish seamless communication with the PanelView and SCADA system.

FAQ: 4. Question: What steps should I take to resolve communication issues between the SLC5/04 controller and PanelView when encountering errors like "No acknowledgement reading N:10.0- N10.65"?

Answer: Answer: Start by checking the physical
