    I wonder why I do not see a terminator on the powder unit for the CAN communication?

    No waiting for Heidelberg tech to come in already had eltoch grafix in to take a look at the powder unit its self replaced a few parts that that didn't have any thing to do with the communication error. They said its gonna be on the press end of it. Heidelberg is gonna try install new can cable and if thats not it pull the board on it

    Im almost thinking board because this last time I stopped press to cut down some more paper when I came back there was a control cabinet fault along with fault during operation when I powered of press and rebooted the communication error came up. It is very intermittent happens while running ,changing plates, inching press while cleaning, or while its just sitting not running

    I am not sure how the powder unit is connected on the machine, does it share a common CAN bus with the other peripheral units or is it on a separate CAN, the cable could be the problem if it is sharing the CAN, and that too is easily checked, making sure no pins shorted out and that there is a resistance of 60ohm between pin2 and pin7 (if i remember correctly) on a cable that has been terminated twice.

    As far as I know this control box is discontinued and obsolete since 2012. You would be so lucky if Heidelberg still have one in stock.

    Once this problem appears, can you see dampening circulation values on screen? It's very important to know.
    I asked you earlier to check CANBUS cable routing. You should check if this cable is connected directly to main cabinet or it is shared with technotrans damp. circulation or CoatingStar.
    Does your machine have DWBA (Detection of Whole Body Access) sensor in Delivery?

    If I can get the machine number I would look that up for you, I see two CAN buses on the REK2, one of them is probably for the peripheral units and the other might be for the delivery DIPM. I am thinking may be the CAN cable from the preceding peripheral to the powder is defective.
