QUESTION

When scanning a DeviceNet network in Anybus Configuration Manager - DeviceNet tool, no devices were scanned.

 

 

ANSWER

1. Use DeviceNet specific cables.

2. Check all DeviceNet devices have the same baud rate. The gateway uses switch 1 and switch 2 to set the baud rate.

3. Every device has a unique address. The gateway uses switch 3~switch 8 to set the  Mac ID.

4. DeviceNet interface requires 24V bus power. 

5. Both ends of the network need 120Ω terminating resistor.
