Hi guys,
I'm trying to connect to a CompactLogix PLC via USB; I've done this countless times before. However, now when I connect the USB cable and try to connect via Who Online, the USB connection never comes up.
I did some hunting around and found that in Device Manager, the "Rockwell Automation USB CIP Device" has the yellow/black exclamation point on it. The error code says:
Not sure what is causing this; I haven't made any changes to my laptop and I've used the USB connection countless times before.
I checked RSLinx Classic and the AB VBP-1 driver is running; if I try to update the driver via Windows it just searches ad nauseum and never gets anything. Searching for the driver itself just takes me to third party, likely malware sites.
Any ideas on how I can restore this functionality?
