Hello All,
Today i have been attempting to setup some more data acquisition from one of our plant PLC's to an IBA server utilising Ethernet/IP. This is setup using a Generic Ethernet module of which points to our IBA server.
I have previously setup around 10 of these PLC's around plant, the only difference today is that this PLC is on a different IP range 150.1.58.xxx rather than 150.1.12.xxx
Unfortunately when i setup the two generic Ethernet cards (1 Digital / 1 Analogue) and downloaded to the controller, both modules kept timing out i.e. 16#0203 Connection Timeout. After a bit of searching i found a thread that indicated that this could be due to router setup issues so i contacted the IT dept. who tell me there is nothing wrong their end (Hmmmm).
If the IT dept. is correct and it is not network related, can anybody offer any thoughts of what could be wrong. (I am hoping Ken reads this as i have seen quite a few threads that he has been more than helpful in with regards to these type of errors)
Any help would be very much appreciated.
