I am adding a PV Plus 1500 (2711P-T15C4A2) to an existing system and creating an Ethernet communication network. The 1st phase of the system has an SLC 5/04 and a PLC 5/15 on a DH+ network.
I purchased a DataLink GW1000-ABEIP converter to go from an Ethernet to DH+ communication.
No issues setting up the RSLinx mapping and getting online from Ethernet to upload/download and program with my laptop. Problem is with the configuration between the PV Plus on Ethernet to DH+.
This is done with FactoryTalk View and uses RSLINX Enterprise to configure the communication. When I run Design (Local), I see the DataLink converter module but I can not see the PLC(s) on the DH+ network to link back to my node tags. I get a message in the bottom left of the setup screen “Select a different path – Ethernet. DL/7000-ETH/DH+ cannot be used”.
The manual don’t discuss any PV applications but do reference this module will work with SCADA and HMI applications. I have gone back to DataLink for help but had no response as of yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
