I'm unable to activate the PAL-EIP valves with the BRX PLC.
I'm having an issue with the PAL-EIP, which has four PAL-V2-32C valves. When I try to activate and deactivate the valves, I also have a PAL-EAD connected with another four PAL-V2-32C valves. I've configured everything and am sending messages via EtherNet/IP with the BRX PLC, but the valves aren't activating. Could you help me understand the correct way to send the messages? Additionally, could the NS error message 'Scanner is not connected to the module' be causing the communication issue? If so, how can I resolve it?"
This is the configuration I used
These are parament I using for the messege
Here this the configuration and PLC program, I hope that can help me with this, thanks

There is an example project available for the PAL device on the product page. You should reference that if using Explicit messaging.

Having said that, with v2.10, Domore has added Implicit scanner functionality and I recommend using that instead.
To set it up, with your project open, first click on the Configure icon or go to PLC> System Configuration...
Select EtherNet/IP Scanner from the Configuration list
Enable E/IP scanner service and click on Find Adapters
If your PAL device is on the network, it should appear in the list, along with it's associated EDS file. Double click on the EDS file name.
In the window that opens, Click the "Add" button, select "Exclusive Owner" and click OK.
In the adapter setting window, click the + button for the Local Addr field. Do this for T>O and O>T data
I have created a single data block (unsigned byte) of the input data naming it PalInputData
The new T>O and O>T date blocks should now be displayed. I also renamed the device to @PAL_EIP
After sending the project to the PLC, I added my scanner device to DataView along with C0-C15 to test communication and valve control.
