Hey All,
Got a comms issue that's puzzling me....
Got two identical machines, each had a MicroLogix 1000, and since the ML1000 is now deemed EOL (end of life), I decided to upgrade them to ML1100. Main reason for the ML1100 is it has built-in ethernet, so I figured I could connect them to my PLC network and be able to monitor operation from my workstation (I like building little displays with AdvancedHMI).
Anyway... Got my programs loaded and the ethernet setting loaded using the serial port and my trusty PM02 cable, and pretty sure my I/P settings are correct, but I can't keep an I/P connection for more than a minute or so, with either PLC. They show up fine in RSLinx, I get online from RSLogix and the little "online icon" is spinning around, then after a minute or so it stops, and a window pops up saying " Communication lost to processor".
I thought at first it was an issue with my network, but I find they each do the same thing if I bring my laptop out and plug in direct.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Regards, JohnR
