Posted 15 Dec 2023 Bob, How are you connected on the RSlinx end? 1784-PCMK card? 1785-KA5? PKTXD? or using rslinx gateway through a dh/rio card? Have you connected to this device previously? Tried changing the local node address? Most issues i've come across is duplicate node address/baud rate issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Dec 2023 This is a static long time existing system. RSLinx sits on a Development PC along with RSlogix. The PC connects by Ethernet to a ControlLogix Gateway consiting of an EN2T and DH/RIO cards. There are six nodes on the DH+ network, Node1-PLC5 , Node2-PLC5, Node4-PLC5, Node6-PLC5 , Node14-DHRIO card and Node24-DHRIO card. Node1 and Node2 returned the error and then didn't. Node4 and Node6 would g0o online just fine. I did observe once I got online with nodea 1 & 2 that both had expereinced some excessive Scan Time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
