Conflict between AB KT card and ethernet card
Conflict between AB KT card and ethernet card
(OP)
I have a PC using an OPC based VB6 program to pull data out of a SLC 5/04 over DH+. This same PC is on our company network where it writes the information to an Access database on a network drive.
When we initially setup the system, we used a laptop with an AB PCMK card and had no problems. Eventually we wanted to free up the laptop for other projects so we replaced it with a desktop with an AB KT (isa) card. We immediately started having trouble with the computer dropping the network drives. It would still show up as connected to the network, but the network drives were unavailable. We have to reboot the PC to fix the problem.
We've tried to replace everyting: the pc, the nic, we used a different AB KT card. None of these solved the problem. We thought it might be due to the KT card being an old ISA format (IRQ conflicts), so I got my hands on a PKTX card. That didn't solve the problem either.
Anyone experience a problem like this and know of any solutions?
Thanks,
Lee

A quick search at Rockwell's site listed some things that might help you out.

Type in 1784-PKTX in the "keyword" and leave the product families as "all". It turns up 29 results. The link to that page would not work when I previewed this posting.
Be sure to check them all out as I noticed several dealt with your situation. It that doesn't help call Rockwell.
Good Luck,
