Looking at the manual [Allen Bradley Connection Paths | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/opc-ua/opc-ua-drivers/allen-bradley-ethernet/allen-bradley-connection-paths) It looks like it should be 1,1,2,4 You would use the AB Driver and the host name is 172.16.14.60. 1 - Go to backplane 1 - Go to slot 1 2 - Go out CH A 4 - Go to Node 4 It's been a hot minute since I've had to do this though. Post up any errors you get and that'll help us help you. ---

What driver did you use? It looks like you used the Logix driver. You should change it for the SLC driver. See this part of the manual: [Connecting to SLC | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/ignition-modules/opc-ua/opc-ua-drivers/allen-bradley-ethernet/connecting-to-slc) ---

That's still a SLC, it's just not on DH+ Use 172.16.14.60 as the hostname, and 1,4,2,192.168.10.18 as the connection path. 1 = Go To Backplane 4 = Go To Slot 4 (ENBT) 2 = Go Out Ethernet Port 192.168.10.18 = Go to this IP address ---
