I seem to be overlooking a problem. I will just start at the being to make it easier.
I have to different PLC's that I am trying to get Produced and Consumed bits to work between via network.
The first PLC is a L61 using a 1756-ENBT card to communicate to a switch.
The second PLC is a L30ER that has 2 network connections. The first port is going to a switch and then from the switch to a PV+700. The second port is going back to my switch that is connected to the 1756-ENBT.
The L30ER is firmware 20.12
The L61 was 19.11. I figured that since I could not get them to communicate I best upgrade the firmware to version 20.11.
On the 19.11 firmware it was easy to do produced and consumed as long as both were the same firmware. Just create the tag offline and call use produced with interlock_data as the type on one end and use consumed on the other.
With the 20 revision I noticed that the data type does not allow for the interlock_data anymore and I am having a very hard time getting the 2 to talk back and forth.
On the L30ER I did the network discovery and found the 1756_ENBT card and set it up. I am assuming I have to add the processor also. So I do that. I seem to make a tag on the L30ER that does seem to work but, I cant seem to get the bit to be seen on the L61.
I did the network discovery on the L61 and it finds the L30ER, I am thinking that since the L30ER is going through the ENBT that might be where the problem lies.
Can someone please lay out a detailed 'How To' on both ends for me please?
I seem to be going in circles and just can not pinpoint the issue.
I would greatly appreciate it.
