So, I have an Allen Bradley ethernet module, two DC input cards, and one DC output card on a 7 slot rack (1756-A7). I work in a huge plant and I have no idea where the controller is.
When I try to "upload" or "go online" with the ethernet module in Who Active, those options are grayed out (along with everything else except for Close and Help.) I am still green to a lot of this stuff, but I feel like I have gone online with ethernet modules, as opposed to the controller, on more than one occasion. The only difference is that, usually, the controller and ethernet modules are sitting next to each other on the same rack.
There is also a Flex I/O Ethernnet/IP Redundant Media Adapter (1794 AENTR) in this panel. Both the Ethernet card and the Flex I/O Adapters are connected to a Stratix. I don't know if this would have any effect on anything, I'm just wondering if this adapter "is" the controller in a sense... or if I must hunt down the "actual" controller.
I have attached pictures of the rack and adapter if that helps any.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your response.
