I don't use the SLC platform often. But I had a SLC 5/05 on a small ethernet network. Everything worked fine, all devices on the network could communicate with the SLC 5/05, but RSLinx would not discover the 5/05 processor using the Ethernet/IP driver. It would find the Micrologix 1400 processors on the same network without issue.
I could ping the device address, and when I switched to using the Ethernet Devices driver and told it the specific address of the SLC 5/05, RSLinx found it without any issue.
I verified IP Addresses, Subnet masks, and even took a look at the binding order of the network adapters on the laptop used (which was an issue with some other PLC software I had used in the past). Nothing seemed to work. The SLC 5/05 never showed up with the Ethernet/IP driver in RSLinx.
This is the only 5/05 I've tried to connect to using this method, so I don't know if I have a problem, or if this is something to do with the 5/05 in general.
Any insight on to where my problem may be, or what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
