Connecting to ABB RETA-01 with Ethernet IP

I am trying to connect to an ABB DCS800 drive controller through a RETA-01 communications module using Ethernet/IP.
I am getting the error "Unable to connect to the network path specified". I am able to ping the ip address of the module in the command window so I know the ip address is good.
I am new to Ethernet/IP as it was just suggested to me a couple of weeks ago to use vs modbus/TCP as being easier/better to work with. Working in LV2011 and using the Get/Set Attribute vi's in the toolkit.
Any suggestions or help/direction would be appreciated.

Hi Craig, 
You should probably check to see if your internet/IP driver is up-to-date and compadible with your controller and LabVIEW 2011 as well as the controller's firmware. I would also recommend using MODBUS I/O. You will need to figure out which registers to use. ABB should be able to help you figure that out. This is needed to set up shared variables used to control the interfacing communication protocol between LabVIEW and the modbus I/O Server.

  • Connecting Apple TV to router with ethernet cable

    help connecting Apple TV to router with ethernet cable

    The process is transparent. I have done it before.
    Now, it gives me an error message when I try Wi-Fi:
    "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again.(5)"
    When I try the ethernet cable connection it won't let me do automatic or custom.
    I unplugged and replugged the Apple TV box but don't know how else to trouble shoot the lack of connectivity.

  • How can I connect Apple TV to iMac with ethernet

    AppleCare told me to plug the Apple TV into the iMac using ethernet to transfer the iTunes content faster with less glitches.  But how do I see the Apple TV screen on my iMac to configure it???  When I connect Apple TV using ethernet, nothing appears on the iMac screen.

    This only applies if you have a first generation Apple TV. Also I hope you have a router and are not connecting the ATV directly to the iMac.
    Usually I sync my First Generation Apple TV wirelessly, but sometimes I'll have some huge media files I want to sync on it which can take a long time. In those cases all you do is connect your Apple TV via ethernet cable to the same router your iMac is connected to. Don't worry about it not being connected to a tv because all you are going to do is SYNC your Apple TV. If you do not see your Apple TV in iTunes, turn off the Apple TV, and quit iTunes. Then turn on the Apple TV first, wait a minute and then start iTunes. Once iTunes sees the Apple TV, manage your content, then sync it.
    Once the Apple TV has completed its sync, quit iTunes. Unplug your Apple TV, and then put the device back by the TV you want to enjoy the content on.
    I have done such a thing a few times and it works flawlessly.

  • HT4259 Direct Connect  Two Time Capsules together with Ethernet.

    I have TWO Time Capsules  ( One upstairs providing Time Machine backup to IMAC #1 )  and  (One downstairs providing Time Machine Backup to IMAC#2)
    I would like to extend the wireless network portion of this to reach the whiole house with ONE wireless network. I know I can EXTEND the network, but my question is can Connect the two time capsules together via Ethernet cable ( my house is pre wired).  This will essentially ensure that the two devices have a solid connection instead of relying on WIRELESS.
    Any reasons to NOT do this?
    Time Machine will be used differently on the two devices.
    Thanks

  • On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

    On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

    I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

    1) are you sure a reset holding the reset button will not delete my data?
    Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
    For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
    2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
    Thank you again
    I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
    Here is the Apple info on reset.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
    Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

    Mac Pros don't support Airplay.  Only some post 2011 Macs do, MAc Pros aren't amongst them.

    You could try Airparrot software as a workaround.

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • My TC won't startup with ethernet cables connected.

    It will start up fine w/out ethernet cables, but with ethernet, it won't startup.  I have two wired connections, my thunderbolt display/mbp and my cannon printer.
    It will sit with amber light solid.
    When I disconnect the two ethernet cables, it will startup fine.  Then I connect the two cables and everything is good. 
    This is a new from apple store today 2tb TC.  It's taken about 2 hours to get it setup until now I've figured out the ethernet cable issue.  Is there a fix?  I'm probably going to exchange it tomorrow or in the next couple of days if there's no fix provided.

    Well, it's working fine today.  I'll continue to try it over the next couple of days and if it happens more, I'll take it back for an exchange.  It happend quite a few times last night.
    I have apple care for my mbp, so this should be covered on it.  About 1.5 years left.
    Thanks.
    I'll update this post if I end up needing to exchange it.

  • Can I connect TC with ethernet to USB cable?

    Can TC work as HD only by connecting to my Imac with ethernet to USB cable?

    Please confirm that you have at least two good ethernet cables, which will be needed for the installation.
    I understand that you do not need for the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network, and it will only function as a hard drive, correct?
    The step by step that we provide will allow you to backup to the Time Capsule using the current modem/router that you have now and also backup using ethernet if you connect the computer directly to the Time Capsule.
    This is what you want, correct?

  • X220 Trackpad curser movement with Ethernet plugged in and with VGA connected to projector

    Thre are many issues discussed about trackpad problem. My problem comes in the trackpad when X220 is connected to Ethernet port. The curser is not stable and it jumps aout 1/2 cm right and left withlout any figer movement, It vibrates on its own when only finger  is placed on the touchpad. This does not happen when Ethernet port is diconnected even with 90w adapter or 65w adapter plugged in. It comes with Ethernet only. 
    The same preoblem comes again when VGA port is connected to Projector. In my case problm has no affect with any power adapter.(90 or 65 w) plugged in.
