I have 6 machines all configured and programmed the same....only difference is the IP....
In the RsLinx Driver Diagnostics it shows to be a CSPv4 connection instead of a Ethernet/IP connection...

Any thoughts?

The 1756-ENBT doesn't support the CSPv4 protocol, at all. So either the target device isn't a ControlLogix, or the indication in RSLinx Classic is incorrect.

Exactly where are you seeing this in RSLinx Classic ?

Are there other functional problems other than this indication ?
 
It is not indicated properly and the Driver Diagnostics shows a CSPv4 connection...and I cannot go on line........but the communications (msg) is working correctly....my initial though was that some other device was online with that IP....but I disconnected the machine from the network. pinged it. and nothing else showed up....

Connection Log' the The IP group is 10-24-9-249 through 254 and the node in question is 251

Okay, so the essential problem is that you can't go online with that controller.

Are you using the RSLinx Classic 'Ethernet Devices' driver, or the 'EtherNet/IP
driver ?

Can the RSWho browse see the 1756-ENBT ?

Can you bring up the diagnostic web page of the 1756-ENBT ?

It's possible that the driver configuration got confused during establishment of the device type, and thinks that your Logix controller is really an SLC or PLC-5. I've never seen that happen, but that's the stage at which the Ethernet Devices driver determines whether to use CSPv4 or EIP.

Try creating a new driver, either 'Ethernet Devices' or 'EtherNet/IP', and let it browse.
 
Okay, which one am I supposed to be looking at ?

With those Harmony object errors, I would go ahead and delete the Harmony.HRC and Harmony.RSH files in the /RSCommon director and reboot.
 
I have re-created the Ethernet Driver a few times.....with no change in the results......I am using the Ethernet Device Driver

The device in Question is the 10.24.9.251...
 
Does your computer also have that address ?

A 1756-ENBT cannot accept a CSPv4 connection: they don't support that protocol, which uses TCP Port 2222.

But we see 10.24.9.251 accepting the CSPv4 connection, and also identifying itself as a Computer (really, an RSLinx station).

Try PINGing 10.24.9.251, then doing an 'arp -A' from the command line to see if you can determine the MAC ID of the device.

All 1756-ENBTs will have a MAC ID beginning with 00-00-bc.
 
Change IP address in RSlinx driver to 10.24.9.251:EIP
This will force to conenct with CIp a bypassing initail CSP connection
 
Contr_Conn is of course correct, but I'm not sure what making that change will do.

Something's wrong if that IP address is accepting a CSPv4 connection. It should refuse a TCP connection directed to Port 2222.

I suspect very strongly that there is a computer on this network with the same IP address as the controller.

It might be time to roll out the big guns: Wireshark.
 
That actually suggests *more* that it's a computer.

A 1756-ENBT always replies to a PING, but some computer operating systems block PING. Any chance somebody is running a VMWare instance of XP with that IP address ?

There's a great command-line utility called 'TCPing'.

http://www.elifulkerson.com/projects/tcping.php

Try doing a TCPing with Port 2222 and see what device answers.
