S5-IP242A counter module

[abacus]

Hi All, I found the site googl'ing the S5 IP242A counter module, I found an old thread with another problem and was hoping maybe someone can help me out with this one. I am trying to add a sixth counter to above mentioned module without much success... here are some details on the situation: The module is already working on the plant with a S5-135 CPU928, using FB178, page frame adressing, counters 1-5 being used. We now need to add a sixth - a decoder - measuring the total product throughput. I have copied the program elements from the existing program to use in testing before we try to implement. During parametrization of the counters I get bit 7 in the MELD (message byte), a group error bit. The value in the error byte is zero, but in the F-NR byte the value 9 is present. According to the manual it means acknowledgement delay, but no further details as to how or what can be done to solve the problem Any ideas anyone?

Hi its Rushdien from Siemens A&D. Please contact Mr. Andrew Jorgensen from Siemens SSC 0115452000. He might have the manual from the old Hotline and also the FB that came with it. Regards. On behalf of H&J automation.
