MSG routing with NET-ENI to ML1500

[kbradray]

I am trying to message from a SLC 5/05 to a ML 1500 on a network. I need to read from the ML to the SLC 5/05.

Here is my setup.



SLC 5/05- IP address of 192.168.0.110->Unmanaged switch 1-> cabled to Unmanaged switch 2-> 1761-NET-ENI->IP address of 192.168.0.13 ->DF1 RS 232->ML 1500



I have set up the 1761-NET-ENI (D) with the correct IP address and I can successfully navigate through linx to the ML processor so I know that it is not a networking issue. I think it is in my Ethernet to DF1 routing from the ENI to the ML via. DF1 RS 232 cable (1761-CBL-HM02).



I have read to create a RFI data table to monitor the routing, but I was wandering if I could use the message routing tab on my ENI Configuration Utility and how?







Any information on either method would be greatly appreciated.

If the MSG instruction is in the SLC-5/05, the DF1/Ethernet routing table in the 1761-NET-ENI is unnecessary.

Post the details of the arguments you used in the MSG instruction, as well as describing the error message you get in the MSG instruction.

A copy of my MSG instruction in the SLC

Here is a copy of my setup screen on my MSG instruction in the SLC 5/05

I am turning on a bit to enable the MSG instruction and nothing happens. I tested this same instruction from SLC 5/05 to another SLC 5/05 and only changed the IP address. I may be missing something else.

Thanks for your help

The 1761-NET-ENI doesn't support the old "CSPv4" Ethernet protocol that the PLC-5E and SLC-5/05 still support. This is the protocol that is used when you are doing a non-"Multi-Hop" message on Ethernet.

Change that Multi-Hop selector to "yes", then create a CIP path in the resulting tab as though you were bridging to a Logix controller in Slot 0.

There is a pretty good example of this kind of message configuration in Knowledgebase article ID # 41173.

Thanks Ken

Thanks again Ken.

I have been successful with my message using your instruction.
