I am having issues following the set procedures for connecting a controlnet logix to a plc5. Here is the layout I have in both plc’s and in the opc-ua setup. What am I missing?

I saw Tom testing it, so it should be.

Starting with version 7.2.4, connecting to PLC-5 and SLC processors through ControlNet and DH+ are both supported.

In your example above, your connection paths should be:  
1,1,2,2 to connect to PLC5 at ControlNet node 2  
1,1,2,4 to connect to PLC5 at ControlNet node 4

Connecting to ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PLC-5, SLC and MicroLogix processors using an IP address in the connection path is coming soon.
