PLC - Ignition Connection (Disconnected: Protocol: EIP - Run Mode)

Hello everyone,

I am trying to connect my PLC to Ignition, but I get the error message below. My Ignition Designer is in a VM, and I can ping the PLC IP address from that VM. Does anyone have information on how to resolve this? Thank you!

The gateway makes the connection to the PLC, not the designer.

  • Can you ping from the gateway to the PLC?

  • What firmware is in the PLC? (If >20, you are using the wrong driver.)

You are correct I was using the wrong driver, thank you for your help!
