A new Forum member resurrected an old post with a variation that I think should be done in a new thread to get the best attention and advice:
Having a Stratix switch, or any other Ethernet switch, won't affect the "multi-hop" path.
What model of ControlLogix is the destination ? You need the "1,x" hop at the end of the CIP Path for most controllers, but not for the "5380" or "5580" series that have Ethernet built in.
If your SLC-5/05 has configuration fields for multi-hop messaging, then it's new enough to support CIP protocol, rather than the old SLC/PLC Ethernet protocol (CSPv4), so it can talk with ControlLogix.
The SLC doesn't know anything about ControlLogix tags, so you do have to create a "PLC/SLC Mapping" entry in Studio 5000 to make the ControlLogix emulate SLC-500 Data Table File numbers.
>I am doing something similar to this except I am trying to message from a SLC 505 to a control logix but I can't seem to get the two talking. I have them conneted via ethernet using a stratix 5700. Will this change my "MultiHop" path when configuring the MSG in SLC505?
