GE Controller Came in, Still not the solution

We replaced

Controller
HMI Panel
Cable
Net Interface Module on I/O.

The only thing we didn't replace was the power supply. The panel was using 100% of P.S. capacity. We reduced the load to 1 module, and still won't communicate.

Magically it started up, got alot of I/O checked out, VFD's run up and down. Then it stopped again.

We have new Power Supply coming tomorrow. Maybe that will work?

--  Update

Power Supply didn't change anything.   

Finally we changed Communcation to a Ethernet Comm head. 

Now everything works just fine.   There must have been a problem with the comm module.
