Hey, question about the DL06 for you all. I was connected a plc and monitoring a program like always, when all of a sudden it said "Error: Com 1 " in red down at the lower right. Hmm, thats odd. I disconnected and tried reconnecting, but it refused to connect. I looked at the status lights on the plc, and the CPU light was RED. PWR and RUN were still GREEN. So, i decided to unplug the plc power, and power it back on. Now only the PWR light comes on, and whenever I try to connect to it, it says Error Locking PLC. Hmm. Any ideas? Maybe a master reset somewhere? Thanks!

Usually you can get by the "Error (Un)locking PLC " message by retrying a few times.
Since the CPU light was, it sounds like you had a major power event (spike, brownout, etc) of some sort happen. If so, it could have trashed the communications port.

Hmm. I'm gonna go with - comm port trashed then. http://forum1.automationdirect.com/board/frown.gif
No matter how many times I hit retry, it wont connect. The RX1 light flashes twice, and then thats it.
