Hello Guys,
I'm trying to set up a message instruction between two Compact Logix processors that are on the same ethernet network. All I'm looking to accomplish is read data from a processor Labeled "PortHardy". I have the instruction config as follows:
- CIP Data Table Read
- Source element "Tritech_P_330" (this is a DINT data type)
- Number of elements 1
Destination element "ABJ_P_330" (also a DINT data type)
I tried to set the path using the "browse" option and selected the PortHardy controller. I cannot get the comms path to work.
The IP address for Port hardy is AB_ETHIP-1\192.168.24.30\backplane\0*
What am I doing wrong here? I really need to get this message set up and working to get a motor up and running.
There is also a Gateway address used to access both these PLC's from a laptop if that makes any difference.
