hi MRKankuamo, it would be nice to know if an error occurs when the server is to be accessed. Make an error evaluation as shown in this FAQ: How do you evaluate the status of system blocks in STEP 7 (TIA Portal)?hope this helps, regards, |

Thanks mopS04: That's a good suggestion that had escaped me, and a person at the tech support suggested that as well. To wrap up the thread, there was no issue with the application on the PLC end. The programmer for AB FactoryTalk did something different and the communication is working now. For every bodies reference. After the communication has been initialized and the communication is working, the status of the LCCF_CIPServer block appears as 7002. Before the first connection is established the status is 7003. I guess that if you capture the status of the block with the done bit you might see the status of the block as 0000. I have to say, this function is great. It eliminates the need to have a very expensive interfaces to communicate with AB equipment, and it is very simple to program. |
