I have a C-More EA9-T8CL that I'm trying to connect to a BRX DM1E-M PLC via ethernet. I have the IP addresses set as static 169.254.1.0 (PLC) and 169.254.1.1 (HMI) and the subnets are the same, 255.255.255.0. I have no issues connecting to either with my laptop, its just getting them to see each other 100% of the time that is the issue. Sometimes I can turn on my system and they'll work together flawlessly, but most times upon startup I'm getting a PLC Communication Timeout error on the HMI. I can swap e-net cables (all are known good cables) around between the two and the switch, even direct connecting the PLC and HMI without the switch and it will make no difference in connectivity. But usually after fiddling with the cables for awhile I can get them to connect, though I cant have to do this once the machine is ready to enter production. Any ideas? This is my first time connecting the C-More via ethernet, usually I use the serial port.
