Hi all,
I'm trying to setup communications between an RX3i PLC and a GE QuickPanel View touchscreen. I have a CPU315 (IC695CPU315) with an Ethernet module (IC695ETM001) set to IP Address 200.200.200.200, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, & Gateway IP Address 0.0.0.0. I have set up the QuickPanel View (IC754VSI12CTD) to IP Address 200.200.200.201, same Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address. I have them set up as 2 targets in the same project. One target named "PLC" and the other as "HMI". In the "HMI" target, I set up the Native driver GE SRTP to point to the PLC target, "PLC". I essentially set up one screen with a text box with a value animation connected to "PLC.AI0001" and a circle with a color animation connected to "PLC.I00001". I've got the QuickPanel connected to the Ethernet Module using a crossover cable and I'm seeing the Ethernet port blink twice approximately every second or so. However, whenever I test the analog or digital input, I do not see any change on the screen. I have tested the inputs and can see them change when connected to the PLC. I'm probably missing something small. Was wondering if anyone had any insight on the thing I'm missing here? This is my first time working with an RX3i and a QuickPanel so they're a little unfamiliar to me. Thanks.
