Hi all,
I'm trying to make the Allen Bradley software (RSLogix 5000 and 500)work on my XP virtual VMware machine.
The problem I'm facing now is that RSLinx is not recognizing my CompactLogix 1769-L33ER processor.
I can ping the PLC and also access its webpage, but in the RSWho window the PLC IP address under the AB-ETH-1 driver has the yellow question mark, plus the red X, and it says "Unrecognized Device".
I already registered the corresponding EDS file.
Any ideas?
Also, the USB driver (AB_VBP-1) is shown as running under "Configure Drivers", but it does not show in the RSWho window. I know there can be problems with this USB driver in VMware, but I don't know if anybody has made it work. It would be strategic to have this driver working to be used for the first firmware download.
Thank you!
