Sorry if this has been asked before, and apologies if this seems like a trivial issue, but I am new to Beckhoff and have been banging my head against the wall to get my system working. Also apologies if I am missing any information to help give insight into my problem, I am happy to provide any more information that is necessary to help me.
I have two virtual machines running on VMWare Workstation 16. One is a Windows 10 machine with TwinCAT v3.1.4020.14. The other is a TwinCAT/BSD machine with TwinCAT builtd 3.1.4026.0.
I can ping in both directions as well as go online with the TC/BSD webpage from the Windows 10 machine. I can go into Router>Edit Routs>Add... and successfully find TC/BSD with a broadcast search. Once I change the Address Info radio button from Host Name to IP address, I can press Add Route, enter my TC/BSD username and password, and press ok. After this, the new route appears in the static routes popup (one thing to note: in a guide I followed I saw a lock icon on the add route popup in the Connected column, but I never get that, perhaps that's a clue?).
With that done, I load up an example PLC (all it has is one bool and a single line setting the bool to true). I open the target dropdown and select my TC/BSD machine, but after a few seconds it appears to error out and the dropdown entry now says "PC-EB058A (ERROR)" (PC-EB058A is the name of my TC/BSD machine). I have followed a half dozen guides from start to finish and still can't get this working. I also disabled my Windows firewalls on my Windows VM.
Can anyone give me a hand here?
