The connection issues seem to have worked themselves out over time, so I am all set there. Alright, I've heard that the RTDE can be difficult to work with, so I will look into the EthernetIP guide. Thank you again for all of your help.

Also, if you don't mind me asking- what resource were you following while creating your PLC program in Codesys? I was hoping to go this route to establish a RTDE setup on the Codesys SoftPLC, but I can't find any explicit description of implementing this. Were you using the UR Ethernet IP Guide instead?

UPDATE:
jvincent thank you very much for the configuration information- it seems to be connecting! I ran into an intermediate issue where I didn't have the URSim Ethernet/IP enabled which is why I wasn't getting any error readouts.
Question, have you recieved any periodic timeouts, like this?
Every 3 minutes or so there seems to be a connection error that automatically fixes itself.

Thank you very much for responding jvincent ! I am going to try to create another generic connection with the information you shared, it may take some time to reenter these parameters manually (because it seems the "Target Config Size" is locked.) I'll keep you posted.

Hello,
I am working on setting up a Codesys SoftPLC using a Universal Robot and am encountering the same Ethernet IP issues described here.
Do you happen to have a copy of the .csv file you were able to generate for this project? I tried following the steps you described here and I am unfortunately not having any luck. It especially doesn't help that my program isn't even throwing errors- it simply says that my Ethernet IP isn't running:
