Hello, I'm a new user here. I'm using a PLC5/40E to send & receive messages from a dozen or so outlying PLCs. There mostly PLC5s but a few SLC500s & Controllogix as well. This all now done with tcp/ip. We've recently inheirited another location with a PLC5/30 (seriesE200 rev K2) that is Data Highway. Using a Controllogix rack, 1756 ENBT/A card, 1756 DHRIO/E card setup to bridge. Can get online with the PLC5/30 fine, but having trouble with message statements from PLC5/40E not working. Have twice talked to Rockwell tech support & have either been referred to knowledgebase articles (my eyes glaze over fast..) or have been told that my PLC5/40E revA2 isn't compatible with Controllogix messaging. There are 5 working message statements to Controllogix PLCs now. I've read that a routing table needs to be created in DHRIO card & have tried several variations there as well many variations of multihop message options.
Help this frustrated dude please.
