PC 16 not found

[timmydatoolman]

I have had this PC16 for 5 years, had it set up and working this year, went out today to do some testing and its not working.

I have hooked it up directly to the computer with a known good cat 5 cable, and am still not able to find this controller.

it has power, it has good network connection, the led flashes, then turns solid when I run the software, it is not found  by the hardware utility, and does not respond when running in a sequence.

Any idea where I should start looking?

Thanks

In the hardware utility, set the search to a high number of units.  The box may have somehow changed unit id and is above what you are searching for in max units.  I had that happen once.

Have you tried resetting it?

No, I have not.  Its been so long since I've had a problem I don't know how to reset it!  Time to dig out the book, now that you mention it I do remember something about using pins to reset it.

Thanks for the idea, sadly it didn't fix it!  I'm frantically assembling a kit I had sitting around for spare parts
