Once i successed to make communication between FT logix echo and IBA and I had signals for monitoring. But i dont know what i did before, i tried everything and it is not working. Both VMs can ping each other. I make indipendent address for FT logix echo(in network settings). IBA is on other VM and can read Produced tags from controler, and after going "OK" to establish IBA, everything seems okay but there is no connection and iba is not collecting nothing. Also on the picture there is no IP address of the simulated PLC. So there is no connection. Does somebody know what need to be done? ![IBAacq](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/8/b85f6d6d19b2bf2d50f640fbc477588d0415f1be.png) ---
