Understanding Routing with Communication Settings

[jspfeiffer@gmail.com]

I have been reading through the posts regarding routing, I'm still confused on exactly how I would write this is the Communication Settings? I have also seen in most routing post that the CIPConnectionSize needed to be changed in order for it to work. Could anyone break this down for me a little bit more? Any help is appreciated.

My current configuration (I know its incorrect)

CIPConnectionSize:508
IPAddress:10.26.240.183
ProcessorSlot:0
RoutePath: 192.168.1.40 (which is Slot 3, I'm trying to connect to.)

Unless you are passing through multiple cards as a gateway, it is not necessary to use the RoutePath. You will only need to use the IPAddress and the ProcessorSlot

I do see that you have an IPAddress of 10.26.240.183 , I assume that is the Ethernet card in the ControlLogix rack? what does the address 192.168.1.40 go to?

There is an inconsistency in what you are saying and the screenshot.
The screenshot showed an EN2T (10.26.240.183). What slot is it? or list out the details of the whole rack.

Assuming it's a ControlLogix system L83 and an ENxT card on the 3rd slot(192.168.1.40) connected to a compactLogix machine (ex. 192.168.1.41).
I'd strongly suggest to set it up with RSLINX first. I was able to set it up in the past.

You can try this:

IP address: 10.26.240.183 or 192.168.1.40
ProcessorSlot: Slot# of EN2T
RoutePath: 1,3,2,192.168.1.41
[ Go through backplane '1'  then out of slot '3' and use ethernet network '2' to compact Logix machine at 192.168.1.41]

Ahh I was able to figure it out. I didn't have to do anything special for routing. I was just able to stick with the main IPAddress and the ProcessorSlot. Thanks Archie.
