Hi,
Been using DLR for a number of years now, mainly to connect up HMI's in the field using a combination of copper and fibre ETAPS, recently started using PV Plus 7 with duel Ethernet ports where distance allowed, the system has performed flawlessly for years. To monitor the nodes I pick up the clock from each HMI and monitor the change etc. again no issues with this.
I was looking to add some extra network monitoring so took a look at the Allen Bradley Diagnostic Faceplate and imported the code into the PLC and the graphics etc. into Studio ME however I can't get it to work correctly, I can see all my nodes on the ring but IP & MAC addresses appear as ????????? however they are visible within the PLC.
Talking to other colleagues who have used it have the same issues, has anyone had any success with it?
Thanks Wayne
