Hi guys. Hoping someone can give me a hand. I am trying to set up a Generic CIP message from a Micrologix 1400 to a ABB ACS880 VFD via a FENA-11 adapter. I downloaded the sample code from ABB's library and duplicated it in my program and was unsuccessful in establishing communications. At that point, I figured that I missed something, so I took the sample code project, changed the controller (ML1200 to ML1400) and downloaded in. Still unsuccessful. The error that I am getting is d6 and the message is "Connection timed out by the network". I searched knowledgebase and found a technote saying that if security is enabled on the device this error is generated but this was in reference to a power module or something, not an ABB drive.
I have all devices connected thru an Unmanaged Stride switch that is new. I am able to ping everything from laptop. Using Drive Composer Pro I am able to browse and change the drives parameters.
I have contacted both ABB and AB tech support. AB suggested that I flash the PLC up to the newest FW (11 to 15.04) which I did. Still no go.
The program is attached. Please take a look and see if I am missing something.
Thanks in advance
