i am trying to add two device net devices to a 6600. I did the eds
files in the eio,I have a green module light on both and a flashing
green net light on both . The only error that comes up is that it cant
communicate with either and the remedies are to check node addresses or
change the node addresses . have done both and I get the same results .
the two devices are a A-B device-net stack light and a parker
device-net convum(smart pump). any help is appreciated .

    Ad the devicenet unit as an DN_Generic

    after a restart you should be able to read out of the log file (IO) the things you should use to create your own unit type.

    #
    EIO_UNIT:

          -Name "ExampleDN" -UnitType "DN_GENERIC" -Bus "DeviceNet1"

    I found that all the devices attached to the base bus (can1) have to
    have a baud rate of 500. most devicenet networks are a 250 baud rate
    including the PLC device net interface on the robot (m2000a).

    thanx for the advice.
