I've got a 1756-EWEB module where I am trying to do some sockets communication where I'm receiving messages from a remote client over TCP/IP. I've used this same method on a CompactLogix PLC with built-in Ethernet/IP without issue. The problem is not so much with the sockets interface, rather, it is that I can't seem to reach the EWEB module without physically connecting to the same switch as the EWEB.
There is a 1756-ENBT/A in the same rack as the 1756-EWEB, and I can ping the ENBT and view it's webpage from anywhere, but I cannot even ping the EWEB module. Both units are physically connected to the same local unmanaged switch in the control cabinet. I can reach both when I'm plugged into that same switch, but if I go to a PC connected elsewhere in the plant through a managed switch on our plant network, I can ping the ENBT but not the EWEB.
I should note that the ENBT, EWEB, and PC from which I'm trying to ping are all on the same subnet as well. There is physically one connection to the house network that goes to the switch in the control cabinet, and again, I can ping the ENBT through that connection, but not the EWEB.
Any help is greatly appreciated...haven't been this stumped in a long time.
