Vision builder AI running Ethernet IP server on my computer

[Johan]

Hi,

I am running Vision bulider AI on my computer and I need to exchange data thru the Ethernet/IP protocol.
In vision bulider I have startet the Ethernet/IP server.
I am using a Devicenet to Ethernet IP gateway from Hilscher, When I go online on this device I see that it can not see any slaves.
Using wireshark I can also see that the gateway is actually trying to establish communication.
How can I see which NIC VBAI is trying to establish communication thru?
Is this type of communication only possible on a smart camera?

Hi Johan,

Could you please provide some more information on your setup, model number on the Hilscher device etc. Are you for instance running Vision Builder AI on a computer with multiple network cards?

Have you tried connecting to your device using MAX?

Have you gone through a setup process similar to this one?

The communication works now, but I am having problems seeing where the problem was. If I can figure it out I will post it here.
