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.
