Good morning,
I have a bizarre issue with connecting directly to a Micrologix 1400 via ethernet.
It recently popped up on a service call when connecting directly to the plc, I could not ping it and could not see it in rslinx. Everything was what it should be as far as my ip and subnet. I ended up connecting using DF-1. When I got back to the office I tried one on the test bench and had the same result.
Some interesting things are: After attempting the Micrologix connection if I disconnect my ethernet cable and plug it into a compactlogix I can ping and see the compactlogix, then I disconnect from the Compact and plug back into the Micrologix I then can see and ping the micrologix. Very weird. Also, if the micrologix is connected to a switch all is well.
I've never had an issue connecting directly to a Micrologix. Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or have any suggestions to fix it?
Thanks for the responses.
