Is this for a Panelview Plus or a PC? If Panelview, did you setup the IP and SN for the Panelview? You must set this on the Panelview, not through RSView. Path to PLC processor must defined within RSLinx Enterprise which resides within RSView.

This is for a PC and yes the PC is on the same subnet as the PLC. So RS Linx classic lite is not usuable for this only RS linx Enterprse? So are all my tag configuration and addressing correct?

Would RS LInx Classic Pro work?

I am going to assume RSView32. RSLinx Lite will not work with RSView32 but you should be fine if you can use RS Linx Classic Pro. Hope this Helps
