Hi All,
I have a brand new Compactlogix L37ERM I am trying to commission. I connected the CPU to a 1769-PA2 power supply and connected an AB USB cable to the CPU. I have Studio 5k on a VM. When I connect the AB USB device to the VM I see the controller information listed under Removable Devices in VMware (Rockwell Automation 1769-L37ERM/A Logix 5337ERM). However when I open RSLinx Classic v4.00 and expand the USB node I see no controller. Then I connect a brand new L24ER QB1B to the same USB cable and I see the PLC under the USB node in RSLinx. I have tried a couple power supplies that had CPU's running on them (so I am confident in the power supply), and I am not able to see the controller still. I have also tried all switch positions, and none have worked. I am stumped as this is the process I always use to connect to new devices after IT blocked BOOT-P traffic, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
