Hi, I have a L551B and have configured it via serial DF1 to an IP address of 192.168.1.50, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1, default domain dm, primary and secondary name server all 0's. Bootp is disbaled. I can see all this info through RSL 500 when connected via DF1, and I can ping the IP from XP, but I cannot configure an AB ethernet driver to talk to the 505.
In the pdf file, 'Ethernet SLC500 processors, quick start for experienced users', page 24, it describes how to create and ethernet driver, by selecting 'Ethernet ot PLC-5 or 5820-EI'. This does not exist in my version of RSLinx lite ver 2.41. Build 10. So I selected 'Ethernet/IP driver' and chose 'Browse remote Subnet, IP 162.168.1.50, Mask 255.255.255.0'
When I go into RLS 500 version 6.00 and coose comms, who active and go online, nothing shows up under the ethernet driver. When I click on the driver I can see the 505 ethernet LED flash, it just does not find the PLC. What is wrong? I chose the defualt install for Linx, did I miss some drivers? As I can ping the PLCs IP, so I know that part is working, I just cannot get RSL 500 to 'see it'.
There is no network, just my PC and a router.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Stu
