Hey Guys, Wondering if anybody has connected Ignition to a Red Lion Datastation via Modbus TCP successfully before? Using a Modbus TCP driver I get Ignition cycling between “Connected” and “Disconnected” Red Lion Network Protocol set to Modbus TCP/IP slave No Doubt I am missing some settings somewhere?? Cheers for any pointers Tim… ---

Have you defined any tags yet? Cycling between connected and disconnected usually happens when the device closes the connection due to inactivity. ---

Many Thanks, Apparently the tags I had Mapped in Ignition were not correctly lining up with the tag mapping through the Datastation to the PLC. Cheers
