I have a 1761-Net-ENI connected to a SLC 5/03. To make a long story short, I can't see the 5/03 on the network. RSLinx sees the Net-ENI in the AB_ETH-1 interface, although it usually displays Comm. error 01E00204, but not the 5/03. I'm assuming the comm error is because it can't find the 5/03, but maybe that is not so. RSLinx shows the right icon for the ENI and gives the Device Type as ENI.
Here are the details:
1761-Net-ENI series A
Used 1761-Cbl-PM02 to serial port on my laptop to configure the Net-ENI. No problems.
Then moved cable to 5/03. RSLinx 2.40.00 sees the Net-ENI fine, but no 5/03.
I forced the 232 Baud rate in the ENI to 19200 to match the 5/03. Still doesn't work.
Message Routing in ENI-ENIW Util I left unconfigured since I'm not sending messages from the 5/03.
I plan to use it to send emails but also want to be able to program over ethernet.
I don't know what else to say, except that I can't program it over ethernet like I want to. I haven't tried to send email from the 5/03 yet, so can't say if that works.
I know the ethernet works because I can ping the Net-ENI and it responds.
I know the 1761-Cbl-PM02 works because I used that connected to my laptop to configure the ENI, so it should work to the 5/03 also.
I have not verified that the serial port on the 5/03 works. That could be faulty. But I have it configured for DF1 Full Duplex, 19200 baud, No parity, 1 stop bit, node 0, No handshaking control line, CRC Error detection, Embedded responses Enabled, Duplicate Packet Detect Enabled, ACK timeout 50, 3 NAK retries, 3 ENQ retries.
I noticed in the ENI manual that another series A ENI is required when connected to a PC in order to program Compact Logix controllers, but I think that only applies to Compact Logix, right?
Thanks for any advice.
