Hi All,
i am trying to get a backup of several machines at the plant over ethernet. each machine has several ethernet devices and a individual ethernet switch. the machines are not connected together.
i looked at the plc program and found the ip address and set my laptop to the main numbers but with a different last number. submask of 255.255.255.0.
trouble is, my rslinx pro does not see the plc.
i also cannot get onto the plc with logix 5000 via ethernet.
I CAN connect via serial port and download the program and did confirm the ip address. its the same as the one i had.
i just used my ethernet cable 5 minutes before and have had it tested and have confirmed its ok.
I am trying to learn the logix 5000 software and have been able to connect to other plc's in the past.
All comments welcome!
thanks in advance,
james
