Can anyone suggest why the Ethernet port on my SLC 5/05 is sometimes very very slow when communicating with RSLogix?
I have the SLC on a network with a Panelview 1000 and Red Lion G3 through an N-Tron switch. Comms between the three devices are very fast and reliable, however when I try to download or upload a program to the SLC, it can take 2-3 minutes to complete. (If I download to the serial port on the PLC it takes about 15 seconds for the same program.)
The problem is very sporadic--sometimes Ethernet uploads/downloads will be as fast as the serial port, other times not. And the problem still exists if I connect directly to the SLC with a crossover cable, so I don't believe it has anything to do with the other hardware. I have tried changing bits S:2/15 and S:33/7 as suggested in other posts, with no effect.
