Hello everyone, I am currently troubleshooting a connectivity issue between an Omron DeviceNet and a Nord drive that has become disconnected from the network. My expertise in network configuration is limited, and upon logging into the DeviceNet through CX Integrator, I encountered a fault message. I am unsure of the next steps to take in resolving this issue. How should I proceed?
Have you properly registered the EDS file for your field devices in the Omron engineering software to ensure seamless connection to the PLC?
Is this an updated system or a system that was previously operational?
I had not been registered on this system before, as I am still new to its operations. It had been functioning properly previously.
Firstly, it's great that you're tackling this head-on, even with limited experience in network configuration! I'd suggest you start by checking your physical connections and ensure they're secure - loose wires can often cause this type of issue. Make sure you check the status lights on both devices, as they can tell you a lot about what's going on. After that, try resetting both devices and see if that helps. If the fault message continues, remember to note down or screenshot the exact message as it could be invaluable in diagnosing the issue. Don't hesitate to look up the fault message in the Omron DeviceNet manual or online, as there's a good chance someone else has encountered the same problem before. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask for more help!
Hey there! This can indeed be a bit tricky. Based on your description, it sounds like it could potentially be a configuration or even a physical connection issue. I would firstly suggest checking the physical connections, ensure all the cables are correctly plugged in. If they're all secure, you may want to take a look at the parameters for the Nord drive in CX Integrator; it's possible that the drive's node address or communication settings have been altered in some way. One often overlooked problem may also be the termination of the DeviceNet network. Remember, each end of the network should be terminated with a 120-Ohm resistor. Proceed with these steps and let us know how it goes.
