Good morning everyone, i'm new to the forum but had a question regarding RS Logix 5000. At my full time job we have a lot of different brand PLC's. Also, a lot of different models of those brands.  I've used RSlogix 5, 500 and 5000 before. Mostly just for trouble shooting why I'm not getting an output. We only have one 5000 PLC at my full time job and I knew the IP address of that plc. So, to get online I was able to set up my ethernet driver and I get online through wireless. Because of the covid 19 my full time job has cut hours so I've been helping a friend at another plant to make ends meet. They have a main PLC (Logix5575) and then there are remote racks all over the plant. Everything is on the net work. This is a lot different than what I've learned on so I had a few questions. They don't have a copy of the program saved anywhere so I'm not sure of the IP address of the 5575. I've included two pictures. To the right of the rack there is a ethernet switch I can plug into but I don't know how to set up the driver without knowing the correct IP address of the PLC. Is there a way to get online with the PLC through the switch without knowing the IP address? Also, how do I know which series of RSlogix 5000 to use? All I currently have is enterprise series but the company that I'm working on the side for is willing to buy what every is needed so we trouble shoot some of the issues they have. Thanks for any help that is offered.    jeremy
