Open Discussion / Ethernet IP to LSIS PLC with EIPT card
« on: April 11, 2017, 01:25:21 AM »
Team,
I am trying to communicate with an LSIS XGT PLC. The PLC has an EIPT (Rockwell Ethernet IP protocol) card in it. Has anyone got any experience?
I am a complete noob to AdvancedHMI software.
EthernetIPforPLC5Com looks most appropriate, but I am not sure, and there is no generic driver I can see. I have set up the correct IP address, but I expect that the PLC is the server and the PC is the Client? I have set up the tag names / addresses on the PLC, but I can't seem to get anything.
When I do an 'autoscan' on the PLC it can see the PC and has the P (Parameter) and D (Diagnostic) lit up, but the A (Active) is dulled out. In the status by service it says the PLC address is NONEXIST which doesn't look good.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
