Hello...I'm looking for an answer to my programming problem here from the experts! Here is my problem.
I have a MicroLogix 1500 that is accumulating gas scfh data that I would like to
message to a PLC-5 controller via ethernet. In preliminary testing, I have
tried to msg 1 word of test data with the msg command from the
1500 configured as below:
This Controller: Chan 1(Integral)
Communication Command: PLC5 Write
Data Table: N7:15
Size in Elements: 1
Target Device:
Message Timeout: 5
Data Table Address: N7:250
Local Node Address: 10.103.97.180 Octal: (blank)
Local/Remote: Local
Everytime I verify the 1500 program, the Local Node Address goes back to 0. I can't figure out how to keep my ip address in there so I can communicate with the PLC-5 Processor via ethernet. Just for kicks I tested my msg abilities between 2 PLC-5 controllers, and had no problems. This is my first attempt tho at communication between this micrologix 1500 and a PLC-5.
Thanks, Jim
