Hello all. This is the first time I am controlling a 753 via ethernet(20-comm). I have used them via HIM keypad for a year or so, therefore I am decently familiar with them. I am way past the point of adding the drive in studio 5000 and programming and using plant PAX objects or just using the I and :O) tags that are automatically populated when you add this drive under the ethernet tab in studio. That is not the problem. I just cannot seem to get connected to the drive properly to test my objects and control. This drive has been sitting on my desk for 2 days now. I got connected yesterday and changed what felt like 100 different parameters to achieve this so I really did not learn the proper way to set this drive up out of the box or did I figure out what parameters made it work.
This morning I reset the drive parameters to default and started a brand new program. I got the program all ready to go then I followed the pdf (along with the other 20 rockwell pdfs open on my browser) showing how to setup the 20comme module online. I went through and now I am getting the same problems as yesterday. When I connect to drive I get the
"Ports do not match between the project and the drive. Cannot change ports while online. Therefore cannot open online view.
Online port 1 20-HIM-x6
Project port 1 missing"
I am almost positive I know what is happening but I don't know how to fix it. The program is obviously looking at port 1 but my 20-com-e is on port 6 or at least that is what the HIM is showing. I have read through the manuals but cant seem to figure it out. Can someone give me guidance here. I can see the drive in my rslinx (used bootp then disabled). If I did not give enough information just reply and I will gladly respond with information needed. I guess I am needing help with what are the bare necessities for communication with my L33ER compactlogix. If I can just get correlated with the drive I can figure the rest out. Thanks in advance and sorry for rambling.
