Troubleshooting
The following lists common problems and solutions for the RFID system.
Problem
I just hooked this unit up out of the box and cannot see the RFID interface in
RSLinx.
Solution
The RFID interface is shipped with DHCP/BootP enabled and will not have an
EtherNet IP address assigned unless the MAC address of the RFID is in the
relationship list. There are three rotary switches on the RFID interface (all set to
0 by default), adjust the switches to a valid IP address in the range of
192.168.1.xxx where xxx is the position of the three rotary switches. Once the
switches are in place, cycle power to the RFID interface.
Problem
I am getting a yellow triangle in RSLogix5000 for my RFID interface.
Solution
Open the properties of the RFID interface in RSLogix5000 and verify:
• The Inhibit Module box in the connection tab is not checked.
• The IP Address in the General Tab is the same as the IP address configured
in the RFID interface.
• The IP Address of the RFID interface is on the same subnet as the
EtherNet module in the Logix rack.
Also, verify the RFID interface has power by checking that the Aux Power LED is
on solid green and the MOD LED is solid green, the Link 1 LED is flashing
green, the NET LED is solid green.
