I am having problems connecting to 20-COMM-E adapters with RSLinx. I can see the drive in the RSWho tree, and it is not red 'X'ed out. When I right click to bring up device properties, the dialog box takes longer than normal to show and when I select Device properties it comes up with connection error. When trying to get online with CCW it also gets a connection error.Here are some of the things I have tried:
1) Deletion of harmony files, does not solve issue.
2) Upgraded version of RSLinx to Classic 3.8, does not solve issue.
3) Tried on different FW revisions of the 20-COMM-E adapter up to 5.002, does not resolve issue.
4) I did find that on at least one of the drives that I can cycle power and it resolves the issue temporarily but it eventually returns with connection errors.
I have no problems getting device properties or connecting to any other device such as PLCs (PLC5, SLC500, Contrologix) or flex I/O adapters, or my PF753 drives that use the on-board ENET connection.
Anyone have thoughts on other possible solutions that they have used for similar problems.
