do you have a peripheral address parameterized on a DPE which refers to the EIP connection?
This is necessary that the driver uses the parameterized EIP connection.
Is there an error message written by the driver during connection establishment?

Look in the LogViewer if you get any error message from the driver (WCCOAeip).
You can also look in your project log/PVSS_II.log file.

If you see messages ".. sendRequest, Timeout expired for connection ..."
than you have a connection problem.
In that case check your IP address in EIP PLC configuration panel.
Try to "ping" the PLC address to check if IP connection is possible.

If you do not see any error message from the driver and you do not get
connected than check if your peripheral address has correct driver
number configured.

in that case it is not a problem for the connection between the driver and the PLC.
When the log message is written by the data manager a manager of the same type (UI; CTRL, driver, ...) with the same number is already running.
Please use a different manager number or stop the other manager (same type, same number) if it is not needed.
