Hi everybody, I am currently trying to read some sensor data via an IFM AL1120 IO-link master to an EPEC6200 PLC. I am using the eds file provided by ifm. I've configured all the ethernet ports and I can ping the master when I connect it directly to my laptop. I have the license for the IP scanner installed as well. But when I connect the master to the PLC it shows "configure encapsulation layer" and that the bus is not running. I can't even ping it anymore "destination host unreachable" What am...

Are you in simulation mode or is there a PLC connected to your laptop via USB? If the latter is true, go to Device Manager > Ports and check at which COM port the PLC is connected. Once you've determined the COM port go to Codesys > Online > Communication parameters. You can change the COM port by double clicking it. Good luck! https://imgur.com/zqSbdBl
