Re: CompactRIO not powering up?
I believe you have a bad regulator inside the power distribution panel. I have seen the problem before with regulators which give lower voltage as the current demand goes up. I would check your power panel first. Possibly open it up and see if anything is blown. But before you do that, make sure to check your battery.
