I build a com component for communication with the DL405/450 which can be interfaced with Excel or VB and it has been working great for the past 2 years. We now purchased a DL06 with H0 ethernet module and i get this error: "Unable to read the device definition: rc=8006192 " has anyone run into this? I used the provided SDK tools to build my com component for direct communication.

Only because no one else has replied I'll ask the obvious. Are the SDK tools something which would have to be updated as new CPUs are brought out? If so have you checked with the supplier of the SDK?

I did send an email to Host Engineering but haven't heard back yet. I'm just not sure if the Ethernet SDK provides support for the DL06. I did notice that the DirectSoft32 version 3.0c (build 80) will not recognize it either. It gives this error: "The PLC type is unknown! "

I noticed that the date for the Ethernet SDK at the Host Engineering web site is 7 May 2004. Can't you just download and fix any new additions?

Yes, DirectSoft Rel 3 was released before the 06 (and the 260) so it does not know what an 06 is (even through a serial port). This has nothing to do with the Ethernet SDK.
Make sure you can talk to it with Net Edit - that will eliminate the question of whether the H0-ECOM itself is okay.
