Hello,
I am a bit familiar with PLC programming, but I've never dealt with servo drives before. I am having a hard time even establishing a comm between the PLC and the Drive. I have them connected through Ethernet, with their set IPs and so on. I can find them in RsLinx, and can connect to the drive directly through A-B MotionView, but my drive is always in Fault. I have read a couple of manuals here and there, watched countless youtube videos and read through many forums, but I can not get over this hurdle, everyone seems to start ahead of where I am, when the communication already exists. I would appreciate a dummy's guide on how to set up communication between the two, and start sending/reading data from each other.
The only two physical connections are Ehternet/IP and the Servo's 120V input.
Thanks in advance.
