Re: Main breaker tripping, dead CIM

Another thing that could compound the issues stated above is that when CIMs break, they sometimes short to their chassis, which in turn can short to your robot's chassis depending on how you have the CIM mounted. This in turn can cause some strange issues with other components. I've seen this happen several times before, where an electrically hot chassis can be traced back to a broken CIM.
