Correct and Prevent Network Problems
5-5
Check System Design
You can avoid many network problems by verifying that you have properly
designed your network. Begin by walking the physical network, and making a
sketch of your network layout. Then follow the checklist below.
Table 5.1 Troubleshooting your system design
check
to ensure that
number of nodes
you do not exceed the recommended maximum of 64 nodes. The practical limit
of DeviceNet nodes may be 61 devices, since you should allow one node each
for the scanner, the communication interface module, and an open node at
node 63.
cumulative drop line length
you do not exceed the recommended maximum
individual drop line length
you do not exceed the recommended maximum of 6m (20ft)
branched drop line length
you do not exceed the recommended maximum
total trunk length
you do not exceed the recommended maximum
termination resistors
the trunk line is terminated at both ends with a 121
Ω
,
1%, 1/4W or larger
resistor
power supply cable
you are using the proper cable length and gauge
power cable to the trunk line
you are using the proper cable size and length
power supply cable
you do not exceed recommended electrical noise levels. Use an oscilloscope or
power disturbance analyzer to spot-check the cabling
V- and shield wires
these wires are properly connected and grounded. Break the shield to V-
connection at the power supply and use an ohmmeter to verify resistance is
less than 1M
Ω
with 24V dc removed.
earth ground wire
you are using the proper length and gauge
CAN_L and CAN_H to shield
and/or V- wires
no shorts are present. Use an ohmmeter to verify resistance is less than 1M
Ω
.
total current load
the current load does not exceed the power supply rating
trunk and drop line currents
you do not exceed recommended current limits
voltage at middle and ends of
network
voltage measures higher than 11V dc but lower than 25V dc. If voltage falls
below 15V dc, a common mode problem may exist on the network. Refer to
Chapter 4 of this manual for more information.
lead dress at junction boxes
you have made proper connections
connectors
connectors are screwed together tightly
glands
glands are screwed together tightly
glands
there is no foreign material (e.g., electrical tape, RTV sealant) in gland
nodes
nodes do not contact extremely hot or cold surfaces
physical media (prior to applying
power)
there are no loose wires or coupling nuts
physical media
no opens or shorts are present.
