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…

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](https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.inductiveautomation.com/release/build7.7.1/2014092209/Logix%20Driver-module.modl) for v7.7.1.

I would recommend upgrading to 7.7.6 while you’re at it…
