MVI46-DFNT struggling
I attempted to use a MVI46-DFNT in a 5/04 platform and was unsuccessful to get comm going between it and an ICC Ethernet Gateway (ETH-200). This comm was going to establish ethernet link between the 5/04 and Toshiba VFD. Being thick headed I could not dechiper the DFNT.txt file to setup correctly and only moderatly successful in setting up the WATTCP.CFG. The Toshiba engineer also struggled and we abandoned the process and went a different route.
I called tech support but after 15 min of silence (couple of times) I hung up and my email has never been addressed.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Thank You

RE:MVI46-DFNT struggling
The Toshiba VFD supports EtherNet I/P protocol?
Do you have any information on the VFD that talks about making a connection from a AllenBradley ControlLogix processor to the drive? This information will help us to determine what settings are required to make a connection to that VFD using our card.
A device that supports connections to AB 5/05 processors, or AB PLC5's does not necessarily support the EtherNet I/P protocol. Older 5/05's and PLC 5 Ethernet devices supported an older version of AB Ethernet referred to as CSP. This Ethernet was supported on IP service port 2222, while EtherNet I/P is on IP service port 44818. AB Control Logix processors only support EtherNet I/P protocol, therefore if the VFD can make a connection to a Control Logix processor, then we should also be able to make that same connection using the 46DFNT module.
