First off, I am very new and green to working with PLC's. I have a MicroLogix 1400. I set it up to have a static IP address of 192.168.1.11. I have a USB Ethernet stick and I set it up to have an IP address of 192.168.1.1. When I go into RSLinx Classic, I was able to set-up connection to that PLC and I can see it in the RSWho list.
Unfortunately, when I open RSLogix 500 and try to "Go Online" with that same PLC so I can program it, it shows up in the list BUT when I click on it, the program just waits for about 10 minutes and then it eventually brings up a dialog box that says: "LINX driver software is unavailable or improperly installed".
Any ideas why I am getting that error or how to fix it?
