DNet passthrough error, not resolved
Sorry to add to an old post, but I basically have the same issue and haven't found a good answer.
Ken, I have seen in many forums you are the go to guy for questions of this nature.
I keep getting the 395 word error, switch to run mode and back to connect error when trying to add the devicenet pass-through driver in rslinx by pointing to the processor.
I am trying to just get the driver to work so I can see the 1747-sdn devicenet card in RSLinx. I have no nodes hooked up, I am making sure I can connect before traveling to support this environment.
I am using 1747-L541 5/04 processor series B rev 3 OS 401 FRN 9, RSLinx 3.51.01 CPR 9 SR5.1, 1747-sdn series B FRN 6.002, RSLogix500 version 9 CPR9.00.00, RSNetWorx for Dnet 21.00.00 CPR 9 SR 5.1. I have both DF1 and 1784-U2DHP usb to serial connectors (DB and rs-232). Have a dnet usb connector I can use as last resort, but avoiding using that would be best so I dont have to change terminating resistors, etc. and potentially have to support that, which is outside the scope of my work.
I saw in one post you mention 64-bit windows OS does not work for passthrough. Guys in the office say it has worked in the past, but none of them have actually gone to do the exact work/connecting I have to do (someone formerly with the company I assume).
Do you think because it faults when I toggle to Run mode since I have logic downloaded to the processor without a dnet network in the office is the issue? Or maybe a factory talk activation issue? I have licenses but I think there could is an issue with it. Really any advice at this point would help steer me in the right direction. Once I get the driver to work so I can at least see the 1747-sdn in rslinx, I will be most of the way out of the woods. Thank you very, very much in advance.

update* - I found an old laptop running 32-bit windows XP and am getting the same error with that as well. It does say the M0 and M1 word length must be set to 395 for the 1747-sdn and I am only able to set it for the controller with the logic open in RSLogix500.. Not sure how to set the sdn word length if RSanything wont see it..
