Hi,

I set a unit type for my Festo CPX-FB32 and a unit, the communication work well until I have to restart my IRC5. I am always losing my unit as not-connected. I have to Desactive the unit then to restart the irc5 to be able to communicate again with the unit. The last time i used Festo CPX-FB32 on a network it was on DeviceNet and i never lost communication with it. On the same network i have a controllogix as a master to the robot.

What I have to change to stop losing communication with the unit on a controller restart?

robotware 5.14 is installed on the controller.

Here some picture of my configuration:
