Hello,
I need some help/advice. I have a Micrologix 1400 series B on surface at a mine site. Underground I need to read hart data from a flow meter. We installed the Schneider STB with hart Modules. I can see that the STB module is properly retrieving all the data from the flow meter. But my problem is getting the PLC to retrieve the data from the STB module Via Modbus TCP.
I know that the ML 1400 Series B is compatible with Modbus TCP, I enabled it in the programming and setup my message instructions. But after I toggle a bit to enable the MSG instruction I get error "Local Communication is shut down?"
I made sure to enable the Modbus TCP Features.
As for the Schneider STB module, I can connect to it remotely from surface no problem and make changes to it, as needed.
I attached two Screen shoots of the RSlogix MSG configs for the totalizer and the STB registers.
Any advice is very appreciated.
Thanks everyone
