I am using a VM for my Rockwell software, and have been having a weird issue. Essentially, I configure my devices in RSLinx using the Ethernet driver (VM uses NAT bridging) and can communicate and get online with no worries. However, when I lose the connection (pull out the ethernet cable, drop power to the device etc), it never recovers. I can ping the device from within the VM (obviously once reconnected), but RSLinx doesn't recover the connection in RSWho. My workaround has been to delete the device out of the configuration, then delete the device from the tree in RSWho, and then it seems to automatically detect that it's there and puts it back in as node 254. At this point, I can get online with the device again. I think this is related to VMWare as opposed to RSLinx, but am not sure.
Versions of everything:
VMware Player: 3.1.2
RSLinx Classic Gateway v2.57.00.14 (CPR 9 SR 3)
RSLogix5000: v19.01.00 (CPR 9 SR 3)
Hardware:
ControlLogix L62 v19.52 with EN2T v4.2
CompactLogix L32E v19.11
VM Network Adapter:
Connected = TRUE
Connected at power on = TRUE
Network Connection = NAT
Any ideas on what might be causing this, and how to fix it?
