Connect S4C+ to IRC5 with DeviceNet

I am trying to get a S4C+ robot to talk to a IRC5 robot with DeviceNet and it is not working.  I have figured out that because the S4C+ is using CAN protocol and the IRC5 is using DeviceNet protocol that the two will not talk direct.  So I have purchased a AnyBus CAN to DeviceNet gateway and I am trying to get it to work that way.  I am able to get the IRC5 to talk to the DeviceNet side of the Anybus gateway but I cannot get the S4C+ talking to the CAN side of the gateway. 

Has anybody connected a Anybus gateway to a S4C+ before? If so did you connect to the BASE or CAN2 connection in the S4C+?  What was the settings that you used in the EIO config file to make the robot talk to the Anybus device?

Thank you for any help,
David

    Ok I got this going just using DeviceNet to DeviceNet between the S4C+ and the IRC5 robot.  I set the S4C+ to DNET_SLAVE and connected to BASE system on CAN 1.2.  I put a 120ohm resister on pin 2 and 4 and I did not connect pin 1 and 5 (24 VDC and 0 VDC).  I connected to the DeviceNet connector in the bottom of the IRC5 cabinet and I connected a 120ohm resistor between pins 2 and 4.  I configured the S4C+ on the IRC5 side with the below configurations from the S4C+.eds file.
    S4C+ Configuration
          -Name "IRC5" -Type "DNET_SLAVE" -Bus "BASE" -Address "30" -Digin 32\
          -Digout 32 -Param "IRC5_VAL"

    IRC 5 Configuration
          -Name "S4CPlus" -VendorName "ABB" -ProductName "S4CPlus" -Address 30\
          -ProductCode 15 -DeviceType 100 -OutputSize 4 -InputSize 4

    You need to change the DeviceNet master address in the IRC5 under the Bus configuration to something like 5 so it's not the same as S4C+ BASE master address.  

    This worked no problems.  Did not need any module in between the two robots.

    Where did you get this?

    -Name "IRC5" -Type "DNET_SLAVE" -Bus "BASE" -Address "30" -Digin 32\

          -Digout 32 -Param "IRC5_VAL"

    Were you able to choose those from a list using the pendant in the the configuration?

    Hi Lemster from a post from DavidLanham 
    I made a backup to floppy disk made the change to the EIO file using notepad using desktop saved it the backup folder uploaded it to controller using reinstall from a backup I can't see any other way

    What you are most likely missing is the last part, -Param "IRC_VAL".  There should be a section which lists something like:
    #
    EIO_PARAM
    and something which has IRC_VAL
