Hello,
I'm struggling to establish a connection between a SICK handheld barcode scanner over ethernet to a AB compact logix L43 controller (rs logix5000).
Cutting to the chase, I believe II'm missing the 'connection parameters' which are reqquired in rslogix5000 for the 'generic ethernet module' dialog box - i.e assembly instance/sizes etc. Has anyone got experience with setting these SICK handheld scanners to talk to AB controllers over ethernet?
I've tried calling SICK tech support but they've been about as much use to me as a chocolate fireguard!
The details: The SICK handheld scanner (4820iSFE) communicates to one of their connection modules (CDM420) using rs232. The CDM420 has the optional ethernet gateway card (CMF400) fitted and I've configured its parameters (ip address etc) and can ping it via MSDOS.
I've configured the scanner as a 'generic ethernet module' in rslogix5000 and given it the correct ip address and have tried various 'connection parameters' but I'm getting a failed connection. connection request timed out.
Any suggestions most welcome!
cheers guys
