micrologix 1400 B

hambone9988 · Jun 28, 2017

I am having trouble communicating between a micrologix 1400B and proficy machine edition. It is communicating over Ethernet. I can ping the processor from the PC, so I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

which drivers are you using, I think for micrologix 1100/1400 you need to use contrologix drivers

I chose SLC500 since that's what I used to program all the micrologix I have, I assumed that to be correct. I've tried choosing controllogix as well and had the same result.

is your ip address entered correctly looks like the first octet is blank but could be my bad eyes

It's entered correctly. I accidentally clicked the first octet when I was capturing the screenshot.

Just out of curiosity what does it list for address on the inspector window when you set it to controllogix

I'll have to try it again in the morning. I can't remember what it shows exactly. I know it accepts it at first & looks ok, but won't let you download and start runtime.

I got it! turns out (at least with my old crappy version of proficy) that micrologix can not directly communicate to cimplicity. So I set up a message command in the micrologix. I'm now reading that message from controllogix elsewhere on my network and then using that to communicate with cimplicity. Not the most fun to set up, but I got it working and I learned something lol. Thanks for offering up all the suggestions!
