Filiberto, Patrick

We did two things, and it is not clear which or if both were necessary. We swapped the transmit/receive fiber pair into the CU1521 media converter at X2-8. After that the link lights started blinking. At the end station we changed the rotary dial on the CU1521 media converter from 0 to 5. This dial sets the direction of the media converter as seen from the EtherCAT master. 0 is from fiber to copper. 5 is from copper to fiber. (pg. 22 of http://download.beckhoff.com/download/document/io/infrastructure-components/cu15xxen.pdf) So it had been incorrectly set as from fiber to copper. We then power cycled just the CU1521. We had checked the dial on the media converter at X2-8 and it was correctly set to 0 (fiber to copper).

I had to restart the Beckhoff controls and IOC again to scan and add the gauges. I called Cheryl from the end station and she ran a script on the vacuum computer in the control room to set the IOC values. She also set the CP LLCV control to manual. I just set it back to PID.
