Hello:
I am having an issue with bridging Controlnet and Ethernet at our plant.
We have an existing controlnet setup for our fume treatment and wastewater systems with 15 nodes. These include PLC5, FlexLogix, Compactlogix, and some PCs.
A new wastewater system was added last year that was too far from the existing network to run controlnet to. The contract engineers made the decision to run Ethernet to connect a Compactlogix and a couple Panelviews. They also ran fiber up to where we could tap into the existing controlnet and put a backplane in with a psu, a 1756-cnb/e, and a 1756-enbt-a. The 1756-cnb was setup as node 16 and we rescheduled the controlnet at that time.
Currently I can see the controlnet from the ethernet side(I can browse around and connect to any of the PLCs to bring up the program and do edits).
I cannot connect to the Ethernet compactlogix from the controlnet side however. I did add the ip of the ethernet Compactlogix and I can 'see' it in Rslinx(ala, serial numbers and whatnot) but I cannot connect to it via Rs5000. I get the "Failed to go online with the controller. Unable to open connection -- all connections may be in use" error 701-8004250a.
I've tried reinstalling rslinx on the laptop i'm using. I also increased the system timeslice on the PLC in the odd chance that was an issue(didn't think so, but i've been following the technotes and trying things).
Has anyone else setup something like this and gotten it to work?
