The modules are back online but the main plc isn't getting any of the data from them. Seems to be addressed incorrectly? BTW my company is willing to pay you for your time if we can get this figured out!

This got the io modules back online! We're still having an e-stop that won't reset, working on that now, unsure of it software or hardware yet. Thank you VERY much for the help so far.

I am using Visilogic 9.5.0

Which one? lol No, nothing is solved, but I also haven't done anything in the last hour except try to get an old Visilogics installed on my computer.

The board isn't giving me the option to PM a file, perhaps due to my member status? CANbus is fixed and working, I can communicate with the RC1 through the 1210 hmi and it tests OK with the tester in the "Communication & OS" widget. One oddity was that the OE had a 120O and a 180O instead of the called out 121's. I replaced the 180 with a 120. I guess I'll just delete this file later.

That would be amazing if anyone is willing to give it a try. I don't know that I should post the program on here. I'm trying to open the example you posted but it keeps erroring out. Currenty d/ling 8.6 that is said it was built in.

Or if someone has some ideas to get the program off of the old RC1. Like I said, I can communicate with all the dipswitches in the up/on position, but nothing else. I've tried to swap the daughter card from the old RC1 to the new RC1, but that doesn't change anything, whatever is wrong is on that card. The old RC1, only the power LED comes on when not in BL mode. CANbus doesn't work, serial doesn't work.

Are there newer firmwares for the RC1 available? There is very little information on these things I can find. I can't get version info out of the old one. Of course this stuff always happens when the support is on a month long vacation and there's no other support options for a custom machine.

This is with only uploading the project from the new rc1, configuring the io modules in the HW configuration, and trying to download it back into the same new rc1.

No, I can't seem to get it out of the original failed unit. I was referring to the new unit when I uploaded that. I can only communicate with the failed RC1 in bootloader mode (all dipswitches on/up). Uploads fail in that mode.

I recently had an EX-RC1 fail on a piece of equipment I have. I have very little support from the manufacturer, but they thought that just swapping the module would fix the issue. I lost CANbus coms between it and the Vision 1210 hmi/plc. Well I have CANbus coms back up with the new RC1 module, but the RC1 seems to not be configuring as they thought. It appears it needs a program, or I am having some sort of version conflict. I do have the program for the 1210 hmi. I do not have anything for the RC1. On the RC1, I can communicate with it vi serial only when it is in bootloader mode. Once I move it out of that mode I can't communicate with it via serial or CAN. Like I said, I have very limited support from the manufacturer of the machine, and of course we need this thing producing. I have a Vision 1210 hmi/plc, multiple io via modbus, and then this one RC1 via CANbus, and it is connected to 4x IO-D16A3-TO16. Those modules just sit there with the RUN light slow blinking. I've done a lot of reading and tutorials but nothing is working for me. There is one where you export the i/o from the plc project, but that uses unilogic, and my project is built in visilogic (9.5.0) so it isn't a guide i can follow. Also unilogic doesn't support the Vision 1210 hmi/plc. As far as I can tell, I need a project for the RC1. Is there a way to get that from my main 1210 project? Or what am I missing? Also, when I uploaded the embedded project from the RC1, and did the HWConfig to add the 4 io modules, when I go to download back onto the RC1 it fails due to compiling issues. It does say the RC1 project was created with an older version of visilogic (7.0) but of course that is not available online to download.
