Author Topic: CNA-100/CP-500 Communication Paul Stevens Film Handler Posts: 42 From: Galena, Ohio, USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 03-18-2007 02:06 PM                     I have 17 of the above combination in this plant and another 16 in another. Some control the CP-500 modes very consistently, most others erratically, and one that I know of not at all. Of the one that are erratic, commands pressed directly into the automaton control panel to force mode changes in the CP-500 require stabbing between various modes before you get the CP-500 to react. This reminds me of a lot of early video switchers, routers and so on. Anyway suggestions short of tossing everything out the door would be appreciated.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Firmwares between 1.31 and 1.65 are known to be erratic with automation control...especially selecting Non-Sync. Also, CP500s that dont use these two firmwares ARE suspectable to dumping their memories. Other than that...we have had CNA100s controlling CP500s and CP650s without any reported problems.  |  IP: Logged Paul Stevens Film Handler Posts: 42 From: Galena, Ohio, USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 03-18-2007 10:27 PM                     That's a good question! I will take a look next chance I get. Thanks  |  IP: Logged
