Hello guys,
One of the very few compact logix PLC's on site has an NFG analog input channel. I need to get online with the processor and change channels, once I'm online I can find my way around (Used to RSLogix5) and make things happen. My laptop does not have a 9 pin rs-232 port so my only means of communications through RSLynx is through Ethernet IP. I tried creating a driver but failed to establish communication with the processor. The processor is a 1769-L35E Compact Logix processor.
I know the Ethernet port on the processor is configured already as its plugged into a phoenix Ethernet switch, which a panel view is connect to and communicating to the processor via Ethernet. Its seems to be a completely different IP network as our PLC 5 which is 223.103.41.etc. This one seems to be the classic 192.168.2.etc. or so it says on RSLynx under an older driver. Normally the laptop I use has a static IP address assigned to it to talk to the PLC 5's on our Ethernet network. I tried attach the RSLogix5000 program so you guys could have a look and lend me a hand trying to get online with this processor but the file is too big at 2.6 MB even though I compressed it.
I don't know where to look in RSLogix5000 to find the current Assigned IP address of the Processor. Any help would be greatly appreciated with configuring a proper driver
cheers, Tex
