There are 2 ways to change the IP address for a PanelView Component terminal: via PanelView Explorer Startup webpage; at the terminal itself under the Main Configuration screen. Refer page 41 in the PanelView Component User Manual Publication 2711C-UM001 for further help. HMI devices EtherNet/IP Link ControlNet Link DH-485 Link RS-232 Modbus 1769 I/O Modules Connected to the CompactLogix Controller Built-in ControlNet or EtherNet/IP Communication Ports or 1769-SDN Module Connected to the Controller Remote I/O Modules Drives Sensors EtherNet/IP Link ControlNet Link DeviceNet Link. PanelView Plus 6 terminals are operator interface devices that run HMI machine-level. View and manually configure the module's IP address from the control.
EDIT:::::::::: Finally got this fixed for anyone who cares. My IP addressing was off on this. I have my subnet mask set to 255.255.0.0 and the third octet was different on the PLC and HMI. I now have my subnet set to 255.255.255.0 with the first three octets matching for my computer, PLC, and HMI and everything is working. Thanks for all the help I really appreciate everything!
I am very familiar with PLCs and how to program ladder level logic. What I am not familiar with is Allen Bradley hardware (normally use Siemens). I have a panel here with a SLC 5/05 controller and a PanelView Plus 700 HMI.
I have just got through the headache of getting RSLogix 500, FactoryTalk View Studio, and RSLinx Classic installed on my computer. I have everything working so far and I can download projects to both the PLC and the HMI.
What I can't do at the moment is get them to talk to each other. I have a TEST momentary push button on the HMI linked to a TEST binary tag from the PLC. When I press the button I get 'Problem writing value '0' or '1' to item...'. Any help with this??
If anyone could give me the beginning steps I need to get everything up and running so that I can begin to make screens and talk back and forth to my ladder logic that would be great!!! PLEASE!
