Browsing Online Tags of NET-ENI Connected Device
To browse online tags of a NET-ENI-connected device, perform the following steps:
- Create a shortcut.
- Right-click on the Ethernet driver.
- Select Add device.
- From the NET-ENI, locate and make a note of the IP address. You will need this in a later step.
- Delete the NET-ENI device.
- From the NET-ENI Devices category, select the appropriate device. Important! If you're connecting to a SLC 5/05, call it an SLC 5/04 instead.
- To name the Device Address, enter the IP address of the NET-ENI (from step 4 above).
- Click OK. The device will be highlighted.
- Highlight the shortcut created in step 1, and click Apply.
- Close the Communication Setup editor by clicking OK.
Caution! When adding a NET-ENI-connected device to the Local tab configuration or on subsequent visits to the Communication Setup editor, do not browse the Ethernet driver. During a browse, the device that has been added will change to a NET-ENI, and the link to the online tags will be broken. If this occurs, you will need to repeat the above steps.}
But the oddity of the issue I am having it also affects ML1100, and the steps above did not change any thing. I know rockwell likes to force upgrade old equipment by dropping support in software; but I cant seem to find any thing either about non-comparability in any thing.
It will accept the shortcut. When you refresh the folders it will have the + like there is more. When you click on it, instead of a drop down sub; it just removes the + for the sub and displays nothing. Exiting menu, reentering and refreshing will bring the + back on the shortcut but clicking will have the same effect.
My laptop (win7) and sever (winserv2012r2) acts the same way. But a desktop with 8.2 will work. Direct apa restoring does not work from 8 to 10, making a new app and mocking a app with same shortcuts does not work either.
