Hello forum members!
It's been quite a while since I programmed and installed a PLC but did quite a bit in the late 90's. Back then it was RS Logix 500. I'm still involved with SCADA systems and in a situation to help a customer with a plc change. They have several ControlLogix, one of which I need to configure the gateway address on the 1756-EBNT.
I tried changing the gateway address from 0.0.0.0 to a real one using RSLinx but I received a communication error (0x009 I think). So, I tried changing it directly in the PLC itself but I get another error, "CIP error in communications request". Apparently, this can only be changed while online but the procedure eludes me.
Btw, BOOTP is not enabled. Does anyone know how to make this change? Thanks in advance.
