I am having a terrible time getting Ignition to read tags from an AB CompactLogix L33er when going through an Allen Bradley NAT translator 9300-ENA… the NAT appears to be setup correctly and speed tests by our IT department show it at full duplex, sends and received huge packets very well… I added the L33er PLC device to Ignition and it shows okay but in the designer I can’t see tag values and when running the project display fields are red with no data updates… at this point, I am completely stumped. We have no problem with Ignition on other devices that are connected directly to our network …just this one trying to go thru the NAT…
The only thing I can figure is the L33er PLC Device is ver 21.11 and the Ignition driver shows ver 20 or later…

Where can I get the new driver?..
What version of Ignition are you on? It’s included in 7.7 and later, and should show up as “Allen-Bradley Logix Driver” in the driver list.
running ver 7.7.1
In the OPC-UA, adding devices only shows firmware ver 20 and prior processors… My processor is ver 21.11

You need this module for v7.7.1.
I would recommend upgrading to 7.7.6 while you’re at it…
Upgraded to 7.8
Problem solved…Thanks for the help!
