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.

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.
