Communication issues with PanelView C600 and MicroLogix 1400

[python01 1]

I am working on a project with Micrologix 1400 and PanelView C600

I am not able to communicate over Ethernet with any device and my computer. I was not able to load the HMI screens so I don't know if they are communicating between themselves.

The RSLinx does not see any device connected via Ethernet. I am using EtherNet/IP driver for this, not sure if that is right. I have tried connecting directly to each device from PC over ethernet and also connecting to them through switch.

I can however ping each device and the packets are coming back.

The IP assignments are as follows:

192.168.0.1 Router

192.168.0.2 PLC

192.168.0.3 HMI

192.168.0.25 PC

Would anyone have any suggestions what I need to try to get this resolved?

I was able to communicate with the MicroLogix via serial port but was not able to communicate with the PanelView through serial port at all. I have tried using the USB-2711-NC13 cable for the PanelView connection.

Thank you.

Sorry for the question, but, did you created a Ethernet comunication in the RSlinx?

Ditto Wesley's comment and, the one that gets me a lot, what is the IP address of your laptop and what is the subnet mask. Your laptop IP has to be on the same range 

Also, your choice of IP addresses is bad: http://www.192168-0-1.com/ .0.1 is typically used for router config. Don't use .0 in the third octet. I typically start with .10 in the last octet so the IT guys, even if it's in the future, are happy. 

Take some time earn a little about subnetting an IP address. It's easy and you can get a lot more devices on a network if the range is subnetted

Laptop IP: 192.168.0.25 which falls into the same subnet as the remainder of the devices.

xxx.xxx.0.1 is typically used for router config. Shouldn't use .0 in the third octet.
