Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and I am not very good at PLC's, but... I need to connect SLC 5/05 to my laptop using the Ethernet IP connection. I've been told to connect it through a crossover cable directly into the NIC, but I am not sure if you can actually do it this way without any routers or switches cotrolling the traffic. By the way, I am using RSLinx and RSLogix to connect and to work with the PLC, respectively. Every time I do that, Windows says that the connection has limited or no connectivity, and RSLogix says that it can not get any response from the device, although it seems like the Driver in RSLynx is working properly.
Here is the full name of my network card: Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller.
So, has anyone here been stock on a similar problem? And what was the solution to it?
Thank you in advance.
