Hi,
I wondered if anyone has any experience using the Frontline net decoder software on DH+ with the U2DHP box?
I'm running into a couple of problems, and Frontline have said its a Rockwell problem - I do have a Tech Connect account but thought I'd try here first, as suspect Tech Connect will just refer me to Frontline.
So one issue is you have to shut down RSLinx - which is fine, but then I don't seem to be able to change the node number of the U2DHP from the NetDecoder software. Any one come up with a way of changing it from node 0 without using Linx?
The second issue, and this is the one that's tripping me up, is that the NetDecoder software seems unstable on the network dropping node 0 (itself) on and off line all the time. the comms between PLCs and SCADA keeps going, but when you look at the events list in net decoder you just see appearing and then dropping a few mS later.
I've tried to run this on three separate laptops and two different sites.
Anyone got any tips or found it equally unsuitable? Rockwell actually recommend using this software with their product.
Thanks
Andy
