Anton Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi, I have a problem with Vision V290. It just stops working... Now the screen is blank and backlight flickers weakly every 2s. I have tried update firmware, but Visilogic can't connect. Also, I have tested power supply: Current 0.093 A, internal DC-DC converter 5V also works well. Please tell me how can I restore the PLC? Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted March 5, 2019 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Anton, this solution is unlikely, but have you ensured that the power supply plug (and all other plugs ) are actually fully inserted? It is very easy to not push them in far enough. And also, have you had it opened up, and possibly disturbed something? cheers, AUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sound like Watchdog try to restart system. Maybe you must try to remove battery and check it. If U<3V replace it. Try to restart, if not - try to go to info mode.

Also, I have check internal DC-DC 5V converter, it work well. PCB has been carefully checked - all contacts soldering well, no any damage.

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted March 7, 2019 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 It sounds like your V290 has failed. Do you have a spare? Joe T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have all tools and can replace any IC on PCB. I think that this fault not rare. Also this PLC is used not over 5 Hours and it like new. I don't think that flash memory can dead. It looks like the unit have a problem with boot start. Does it have some procedure for recover firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanT Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Anton; Does the V 290 have a snap on I/O Module? Is it seated properly? and do you have the power also connected to it? and to the V290 3 pin terminal The 24 VDC Supply should be a regulated supply Where is the DC-DC regulator? On a Snap On I/O Module? The 5 V regulator for the Main unit is on the motherboard.. Hot old is the unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton, if your brand new car fails, do you immediately get out all your tools and replace the engine? 😀 Of course not, so why would you be trying to "repair" a brand new plc. Sometimes things do have assembly failures and are DOA. It sounds like you are into electronics, but in this case leave it alone and get a replacement under warranty. cheers, Aus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that flash memory can dead. I am a distributor. There is a two year warranty on Unitronics hardware. I'd contact your supplier.

Schematics are not available anywhere, so this is a risky endeavor at best. Joe T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now it time for repair this PLC because the warranty is over. On 3/8/2019 at 4:24 AM, kratmel said: black-screen-how-can-i-recover-the-plc Thank you Kratmel and all. This is helpful. The problem has been in a small soldering ball that shorted two pins in IC memory. After removing this ball PLC can bootstrap and updated to new firmware successfully.
