I recently bought a SLC 5/05 CPU and am trying to communicate with the Ethernet port for configuring it. I can communicate using the DF-1 port, however I will soon be using this port for communication to a PanelView 900 so I need to use the Ethernet one for configuration and troubleshooting. Here are my settings for the SLC 5/05:
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address: 0.0.0.0
Bootp Disabled
Here are my settings for the laptop I'm using:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: None
No Firewall
I also have a crossover cable going from the PC to the SLC. When I configure the Ethernet driver in RSLinx, I add 192.168.1.2 to Station 0 and then try to browse it. It browses it and sees it but shows it as an "Unrecognized Device" and will not communicate with it. I also pinged the PLC from the command prompt and received successful replies from it. I thought it could be a software issue because we do have RSLogix 500 and RSLinx versions that are older. We have RSLogix 500 (Version 5.20.00 Build 17) and RSLinx Lite (Version 2.31.00 Build 10). However, I talked to another engineer who uses the same versions and in a previous project, was able to communicate with a SLC 5/05 through an ethernet switch.
Am I missing something here? I'm not quite sure where else to go to troubleshoot this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
