Communication related to IL EIP BK DI8 DO4 2TX-PAC1
There was a query related to the above mentioned Phoenix module quite some time back (asked by you). Were you able to successfully communicate the module. If so, please do help me out with the settings for the same. I have a similar configuration where a CI873 is connected to the IL EIP BK DI8 DO4 2TX-PAC1. The RY and NS LED continues to flash after all the connections in the Phoenix module.

Sounds like your network configuration does not match the actual hardware installation in some way and the communications to the Bus Couplers have not started.
For comms to a third party IO system you typically need to ...
- Ensure you have imported the CORRECT device descriptor file using the Control Builder Device Wizard. Near enough is usually NOT good enough.
- Use the device vendors setup program to assign basic address information to the stations. You can download the Boot IP addressing tool for the Phoenix Contact bus couplers from their website. https://www.phoenixcontact.com/online...
Check the AC800M controller log for messages related to the CI873 and try using the Phoenix Contact network diagnostic tools to see what is actually connected to the bus.

We've used PXC_00F0.gsd and Device Import wizard to setup the configuration and hardware library.
It works well and straight forward for DI and DO.
If you are using a power module in the sequence of I/O modules, don't configure the power module in I/O configuration in Control Builder
