You cannot toggle an input. Try forcing the input on, as well as enabling the forces.

According to the manual, these switches have NAT capabilities:  : 1783-BMS10CGN, 1783-BMS20CGN, 1783-BMS12T4E2CGNK

Does anybody know of a way to be able to get an Ethernet MAC address from an EN2T Ethernet card without pulling the card out, or shutting down production?

Hey All,    I have an issue trying to get my indirect addressing working. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Hopefully something simple. What I want to do is copy data from one dint to another based off of counter position. I will always read in the source at the same word, but want the data written to a certain word based off of a counter value. I have a single rfid reader that will read, but I need to read 16 different rfid's and dump them into 1 place. Then i will transfer all 16 rfid's read into another word all at once.  Here is my code. What am i missing here?    

Thanks for the reply. The attachment failed when it went to upload.    I got it figured out. I was trying to address it down to the bit level. *facepalm. 

All changes to AOI's must be done offline. 

I only questioned it because I wanted to know how far to upgrade my software...

    Since when? I have never had this issue before!

Am I missing something here? You say the base tag has no cross-references or duplicate tags. How is this bit being controlled? Are you just toggling this bit in the PLC? What exactly is turning this bit on?

Are you using the embedded Ethernet Adapter? Or a COMM adapter? If using a BootP server, you need to have C-128 set to a 2. Remember to power cycle after you change the parameter.  

I was just curious myself is why I looked it up. Honestly never gave it much thought until this post. 

From the manual here:   https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/rm/1756-rm003_-en-p.pdf    Page 852.   These processors use a LINT as well:   LINT data type is a 64-bit integer. The LINT data type can be used in numerous instructions on Compact GuardLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, ControlLogix 5580, or GuardLogix 5580 controller however the LINT data type cannot be used in most instructions on CompactLogix 5370, ControlLogix 5570, Compact GuardLogix 5370, GuardLogix 5570 controllers. Consider the following when using LINT data type on CompactLogix 5370, ControlLogix 5570, Compact GuardLogix 5370, GuardLogix 5570 controllers.   Tip: LINTs can only be used with copy (COP, CPS) instructions. They are used with the CST/WallClock Time attribute, time synchronization and Add-On Instructions. You cannot add, subtract, multiply, or divide this tag type.

That is the command. But don't you have to enable/disable that in the startup editor? Been a while for me too.

I miss the days when discovery actually worked! Been pretty hit or miss lately!

If you are not using any safe torque off wiring, make sure you have a jumper installed into S1, S2, and S+. This will bypass the integrated safe torque off feature.   Also, if not using the safe torque off, the drive must be set at the default settings. I.E. right out of the box states.

There you go then! Nothing executes in program mode.

To clarify, you are in remote mode and not program mode?  

Did you try using the tool in RsLins EDS hardware? Did you try and go to anybus's website and download the eds file from them?   https://www.anybus.com/support/file-doc-downloads/select-gateway-type  

As a machine builder, we leave the safety unlocked. We leave it up to the end user. Some actually certify their equipment. Others do not. Of the ones that I see certify, they use a third party for it.

Or you could just use the search function and search for I1.0. Or even search for the text if you know what the text is? I am assuming the  tag name is I1.0

Understood. But version 16 has a few issues that effect other versions. If you do not have the latest version of 16, I would start there. I have seen version 16.0 do some weird things.

What version is this in?  I had this issue when I installed version 16 for another project. What I would do is try and update your version of 16 to the most recent version.
