Question

Why does my panel lose communication after being in service for a length of time?

Answer

Once a panel gains communication with a PLC there are only a few reasons why it does not continue: a) RFI from nearby motors, welders, starters, etc. causing anything from memory corruption to driver chips burning up; and b) an inadequate power supply.
