A little background:
I have a 1756-ENBT/A and 1756-DHRIO/D bridge to access the SLC5/04 from Ethernet. HMI is a PV1400e on DH+. I am upgrading the PV1400e to a PV+1250. Added the 2711P-RN6 to the PV+. Programming the PV+ here at my desk via Ethernet.
The problem I have is in the communication setup, I cannot look through the 1756-DHRIO to find the SLC5/04.
FactoryTalk View Studio ME - Communication Setup - Design (Local) tab.
When I 'drill down' to the 1756-DHRIO it is showing up as a 1756-DHRIO/A instead of a series D. When I select it I get the 'Select a different path - 1756-DHRIO/A cannot be used.' error, and nothing under it.
RSLinx Classic shows it correctly as a series D, and I communicate with the SLC5/04 through the bridge with RSLogix500 all the time.
Just downloaded and installed the .eds files again. No change.
I added the DH+ driver and the SLC5/04 device with the correct node #'s in the Runtime (Target) tab, so I feel comfortable that when it gets installed that it will work correctly, but would definitely like to test it before I put it out in production.
So I guess my ? is why can I not see my SLC5/04 through RSLinx Enterprise??
Am I going about it wrong, or is this another limitation (or irritation) of Enterprise??
Thanks in advance for the help!
