RE: 1756-EN2TP not browsable in RSLinx or FactoryTalk Linx

Hi David, What happened to me in a similiar setup was the missing default gateway configuration. If you have different VLANs setup the routing between them needs to be enabled. This only covers the communication when on the bigger network. It is strange that you can't see the EN2TP when using ...

Hi A N, I meant to close this chapter before someone can reply. The issue was caused by a weakness in an AOI, where overlapping error conditions restarted the message instructions continuously. Nothing to do with the messages at all. Thanks for taking the time to write! ------------------------------ ...

Hi all, In the current situation I have 2 L63/B (both FW 19.015) CPUs, each communicating to a laser controller via an EN2T/D (both FW 11.004). The 2 laser controller and EN2T cards are connected on the same network via a managed switch in a VLAN. The laser controllers are of the same make/model ...

Hi Kim, A few things to consider when updating the firmware: Connection to the PLC If I remember correctly the L61/B does not have an USB B port on the module front. But if it has use an USB cable to run the firmware Try to connect the laptop you are using for updating as close ...

Hi Ryan, hi Pascal, I had an integer incrementing on each PLC, sending it to each other and being echoed back as communication watchdog. In addition the connection status of the consumed tag was also monitored. Everything ran smoothly. PLC B had 2 Ethernet cards, PLC A just 1. When disconnecting ...

Hi Ryan, Thanks for your feedback. The first TechNote looks promising to me. Tomorrow I should have all the gear together to bench test the described approach. I'll keep you posted. I had tried to find something here in the community and Tech Support, must have used the wrong keywords. ...

Produced consumed communication across different CPUs and firmware versions

Hi all, In my current project I have 2 PLCs which should be setup to communicate with each other via produced/consumed tags, using EN2T cards. PLC A: L63, V19 PLC B: L83E, V34 The issue is that V19 only contains controllers up to the 5570 family and PLC B can not be added to the ...

RE: Stratix 5700 NAT Configuration

Hi fuzzy logic, I am trying to setup a similar network structure. My problem is that I don't have NAT menu at all. Used is a Stratix 5700 (1783-BMS10CGP) with firmware version 15.2(5)EA. According to the manual this type does support NAT. From other manuals explaining how to setup NAT it says ...

Hi all, I have received configuration files for a Stratix 5700 (1783-BMS10CGP) and been asked to modify the existing VLANs. With no access to the switch I wanted to see what is currently configured. In an empty Studio5000 V34 project I created a CPU and network card, which has the Stratix switch ...

Hi fuzzy logic, I had another go on the expensive brick and brought it back to life! One thing I hadn't tried was setting an IP address in the 192.168.1.X range via the dials. With this setting the card started up normally. After this I used dial settings '888' for factory reset and when reverting ...

Hi @fuzzy logic, Just to close this chapter: Tech support says that when the card remains in the loop even after a power cycle it is a hardware fault and the card needs to be replaced on our own expense, with the card being out of warranty. This is a bit disappointing considering that RW provides ...

Hi Chris, We had a customer who wanted all devices permanently checked. With the GSV instructions not being the fastest in execution, we used a CASE statement stepping through a module per scan to read the entry status: CASE ModuleStep OF 0: GSV(MODULE, Module0, EntryStatus, ModuleStatus[ ...

Hi, There is no shortcut that I would know off. If you have a device ring, you could open it and add your laptop as last device. Use RSLinx to set IPs on Rockwell devices where possible. I would recommend to power cycle all devices when the new IPs are set, to ensure that they 'stick'. ...

Hi @Giacomini, With 80 + devices you can either leave the subnet mask as it is or change it to 255.255.255.128, allowing 126 devices per subnet: Can you explain how Ethernet IP and ProfiBus are mixed?

Hi all, Reading the release notes for V36 I saw that OPC functions are now available on 5580 CPUs (technote QA67231 for details). Has one of you tested this? In the technote mentioned the communication path is defined as THIS in step 1.4. I am wondering if only the Ethernet port on the CPU ...

Hi Amir, I am not aware of any RW hardware for a length check, the vision system should do the job here. I have used a Cognex camera before to measure the size of an object. You train the camera with a reference sheet which determines how many pixels represent a centimetre for example. The ...
