Hello all, I am new to ethernet messaging and I am getting a little confused. Here is the setup I have: An AB SLC 5/05 processor, a Red Lion G310, and a Delta Motion 75E controller.
The Red Lion is working with the AB just fine.
When I try to do a read message to get the Axis Status from the Delta Unit the enable bit goes high and nothing happens. If I stop the read message the enable bit goes off and the Error bit goes high. With a timeout error.
-The IP address are set OK.
-The lights on the Delta unit are blinking.
-The ethernet light on the PLC is blinking.
-The lights on the ethernet switch I have all 3 units going back to are as follows:
-SLC flashing
-G3 flashing
-Delta nothing
I have copied the Delta sample off the net, and as far as I can tell they are set similar. The only difference is the destination files in my PLC.
This is my first shot with messageing so it might be something really simple.
Any help would be appreciated!
