Hi all. I'm having issues adding an ethernet module to my project in Studio500 v34. The device is a Fredericks Televac EthernetIP MX gateway which is used to communicate with vacuum gauges. I installed the EDS file from the manufacturer as administrator. It installed with no errors and I can see the gateway in RS Linx. I did use the manufacturers ipconfig tool to assign my desired IP address to the gateway. All of that worked as it should. When I attempt to add the new ethernet module in Studio5000 I right click A1 Ethernet in the Controller Organizer pane, select new module, select the module I want to add "Fredericks EthernetIP MX". When I click create, I get a 15-20 second spin wheel and Studio5000 terminates completely. I did reach out to the manufacturer and they sent an updated EDS file, but I still get the same result so I'm assuming it's something on my end. I do have some older projects that use this same type of device and when I try to open the module properties in those projects it results in a crash also. I did try exporting the module from an older project and importing into my current project which also resulted in the same crash. Any help would be appreciated.
