#Rslinx classic cant find node driver#
If you are not familiar with how subnets work, you can look at the Ethernet Addressing section of the ControlLogix Level 1 workbook.ĥ) On the Communications Menu, choose “Configure Drivers”, or you can hit the “Configure Drivers” icon in the standard toolbar.Ħ) Choose “Ethernet Devices” from your driver list.ħ) For this exercise, we will leave the driver name default. Verify that you are in the same subnet as the device you are communicating with. You will see the IP address of your laptop. If the IP address is not written on the device (or scrolling across the alphanumeric display), this may be documented in the offline project for the device.ģ) From your command prompt, type “ipconfig” all one word, no quotes. You can use a crossover cable to connect directly to the device, or a standard patch cable, if you are connecting through a switch.Ģ) We must know the IP address of the device we are connecting to. For example: If we flash a ControlLogix processor over Ethernet, the process may take just a couple minutes, but over an RS232 connection, this could take over an hour!ġ) First we must make the connection to the network.
DF1) is the the communication speed is generally much faster. The “Ethernet Devices” Driver can be set up in RSLinx to communicate with Ethernet devices such as a ControlLogix Ethernet module, SLC 5/05 processor, an Ethernet PLC-5 processor, and many others.
