My plant recently received a machine from another plant within our company. It has a Panelview Plus 1000, 2711P-RDT10C, that communicates with a SLC 5/03, channel 0, DF1. I wanted to upload the runtime file to make sure I had the latest copy. I decided to use the ethernet port since that would be much faster. I found an IP address already assigned to the terminal in the configuration file. I am able to ping the terminal without issue, but I cannot see it in RSLinx Enterprise or RSLinx Classic using the Ethernet IP driver. I noticed in the terminals configuration file, under RSLinx Enterprise setup, that the ethernet driver is not listed, only the DF1 driver. I was able to upload the file via the DF1 driver, and 20 hours later restored the application file via the extended method as the file was created in a version previous to 5.0. I saw in the application file that the ethernet driver also does not exist. If you download a runtime file that has the ethernet driver deleted will it delete the driver from the configuration on the terminal? Will I have to restore defaults to the RSLinx Enterprise setup, and then download a runtime file with the ethernet driver included in the communication setup?
thanks,
