I have an 1100 that I am using mainly as a protocol converter. It Talks Modbus RTU on channel 0 and is connected to a large management system on Ethernet channel 1.
It works great was easy to setup and I am generally happy with it. It will occasionally drop Ethernet Comms to the ControlLogix system I use to communicate with it. It will show a solid green link LED but no blinking activity on the amber LED?
If I cycle the power to the Micro it starts communicating again. Simply unplugging and plugging the Ethernet cable does not work.
I have tried it forced to 10mgbt on both full and half duplex. It does not seem to matter. Sometimes it will stay connected for several days before it stops "talking".
I am not an Ethernet guru. I work with it a lot, but still have a lot to learn.
I guess I need to let it drop comms again and try and ping it before I reboot it. I have not done that yet.
Is there anything anyone knows about the 1100's Ethernet that makes it quirky like this?
