NS5 HMI Connection to CP1W-CIF41

3 posts in this topic

Hello Everyone....I've been having a devil of a time trying to connect an Ethernet ready NS5 HMI to a CP1H with optional CP1W-CIF41 Ethernet board installed. I have both the HMI and the PLC connected with a VPN router locally and I have no problem pinging the two devices. I can connect with the PLC via Ethernet and I can download the graphics to the HMI via Ethernet using CX-Designer. I keep getting the connecting logo down at the bottom right hand corner when trying to connect the HMI to the PLC. The two IP address are HMI 10.200.49.11 and the PLC 10.200.49.10. Since the two devices are on the same subnet, I understand from asking that I do not need an IP conversation table. I'm not quite sure if I have the routing table setup correctly using CX Network Configuration tool. The CP1W-CIF41 is located in the second slot of the CP1H. Any advice anyone has to offer would be GREATLY appreciated. Cheers, Chris

Can you post your NS application, or a shot of the config? I think in the NS there is a tick box to 'use CIF41'? Have you set the Dip Switch as recommended for slot 2? Can you connect to the PLC with CX-programmer?

Thanks for the reply Lostcontrol. I have it figured out now, and yes I had all those conditions that you mentioned satisfied. The problem was good old copy and paste. I pasted HMI code that I had written for a serial connection. I didn't erase all the serial points in the old HMI code and therefor the serial connection was still enabled on the NS. As soon as I turned off the serial connection, BANG, up it came. I rookie mistake I know, oh well, it keeps me humble......HA!! Again, thanks for the reply. Cheers Chris Edited by ChrisBarrett
