Working on a new project with a collection of older items, and I am unable to connect RSLogix 5000 v20.01.00, using a 1756-L63 processor, to a Kinetix 350 (FW 1.55). Do I need to use an Allen Bradley Stratix network switch to do CIP motion with my Kinetix 350, or can I use an off-the-shelf unmanaged switch from Netgear? Where does the requirement start an the sales gimic end? The machine will not be connected to the factory network. The only things connected are a single ControlLogix processor via 1756-EN2T/B, PanelView Plus 700, the Kinetix 350, and an Allen-Bradley 842E Ethernet encoder. Everything connects on the network except for the Kinetix 350. RSLogix/RSLinx sees the drive, but won't connect to it. The error I get inside RSLogix is:
Code 16#0108: Connection Request Error: Connection type (Multicast/Unicast) not supported.
I have tried it with and without the "Use Unicast Connection of Ethernet/IP" block checked, but it doesn't make a difference. I have been unable to find anything relating to this online so far. I'm wondering if it's because we went cheap on the network switch, something wrong with a setting, incompatible firmware, or something else.
