It looks like you have the default configuration in the Ethernet/IP Host Device. That doesn’t talk to anything except for testing against another Ignition server.

You also named this Host Device as if it is a direct connection to the robot. This is incorrect. The Host Device is virtual controller that contains tags and datatypes that you adjust to meet the needs of your I/O device’s assemblies, then define a “Scanner Module” inside the virtual controller to make the actual connection to the robot. If you have two or more robots, they’d all be configured inside this **one** Host Device.

Please send an email to my [Support Address](mailto:support@automation-pros.com) with the robot’s EDS file and a description of any customizations you’ve done to the robot’s interface. I will help you prepare a configuration file.
