[foxboro] Identifying and troubleshooting FD30 driver for Siemens CP525 comms modules

Hi all,
 

We've been having some comms problems with an FD30.  Unfortunately I
have no documentation on the driver for these, and no idea if my image
is anywhere near current.  My port 0 periodically fails.  Taking it
off-line and back on-line fixes it until the next time.  Recently while
port 0 was failed, we lost comms on port 1 (but it looked fine in system
monitor), and took down a mill for several hours.

 

I've got a couple FD30FTs that talk to Siemens S5 PLCs.  On the Foxboro
side, these are redundant Integrator 30s.  We have Port 0 and Port 1
(redundant) communications to two CP 525 modules on the Siemens S5 side.
My station block shows V4.3 for the software level of the FD30s.  My
system is at I/A 6.5.4.

 

I'd like to identify my driver, see if there is documentation for it,
and see if my version is current (and if not, find out what has been
changed between 4.3 and current).

 

Any thoughts anyone?

 

Regards,

 

Kevin FitzGerrell
