All,
I am having a Devicenet problem. I have 4 seperate Devicenet networks. Each Devicenet network has it's own SLC 5/05 associated with it and it's own 1747-SDN. Each network has 6 drives on it and that is the only thing on the network.
I have set up 3 of the networks already and can see the drives fine in RSNetworx and control them fine from my PLC. The last network is the one I am having problems with. I can control the fans from the PLC (start, stop, etc.) but when I go into RSNetworx, it sometimes sees some drives sometimes does not. The last two times I have tried it, it only finds node 1 (a fan) it doesn't even find the devicenet card at node 00. I was able to sometimes see the devicenet card and was able to map my fans in so that is why I am able to control them, but I can't see anything in RSNetworx and I am stumped. I am using a 1771-SDNPT driver for communicating with the network through linx. I called Rockwell and they had me delete the driver, try all of the 4 ports that it gives you, and also tried deleting my harmony files and resetting my computer. None work. All the other networx still work and I can see the cards and the 6 fans, just this one isn't working and when I tried this morning it only found node 1 again. I am very stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated.
