CompactLogix L24: Do I need an external ethernet module to talk to an ethernet device?

3 posts in this topic

I have a compactLogix L24.  It is connected to a network switch.  I also have an ethernet servo driver (KM AKD) attached to the same switch.

The CL L24 IP address is 192.168.150.1

The Servo Driver is 192.168.150.3

In RSLogix 5000, I added an ethernet module.  I put in the IP address for the servo driver.  When I go online, I just get a connection error (Code16#0204).  

I can talk to the servo driver using my PC on the same network (192.168.150.13), but the CompactLogix won't talk to it.  Do I need to install an external ethernet module to make this work, or can I use the existing ethernet ports on the L24?

I'm stumped.

By KM AKD, I presume you are talking about a Kollmorgen AKD Servo Drive.

Goto their website and get all the documentation concerning setup of communications via EtherNet/IP and any examples of logic for Rockwell/Allen-Bradley.

The "Generic Ethernet Module" must be configured with the correct data types and the Assembly Instances must be correct for any communication to occur.

Can you ping the Compactlogix?  What is the subnet mask?
