I have an MXe Controller and have a DSP error. I can see DSP's programmed for slot 6 and 7 but on Show Status DSP only slot 6 is showing.
Does anyone know where Slot 7 DSP is? I cant see it in the Tech Handbook

Hi, col. The LX has a slot 7, not MXe. This is indicated in the hard manual. Thanks.
 
Thanks - I have seen that in the Manual but the MXe I am looking at is showing dsp programmed in Slot 7 but not showing in Show status and giving alarm.

Sounds like a glitch. What do you get when you check the dbase?
 
Embedded would have been my guess.

IrwinFletcher is the expert on these things but he's been absent of late.

Slot 7 is embedded on a MXe

I guess I will have to replace the MXe to fix the error then.

yes, replace the controller chassis to fix issues with slot 7.
 
Hardware most likely however could be software related, there was no mention of software release or mention of attempting reboot to clear.
 
Software is MCD5.0 SP1 PR1 and we have power cycled the system but the alarm remained.

One other thing I might try would be backup, shutdown, remove system, open/reseat everything (cards, ribbon cables, power), bring back up and see if cleared.
