Ethernet-to-DeviceNet Linking Device 45

Rockwell Automation Publication 1788-IN055C-EN-P - September 2011

Idle Nodes

The Idle Nodes page indicates which DeviceNet nodes are currently in the Idle
state. If a node is Idle, the page will display ‘Idle’ next to the node’s MAC ID.
Note that only nodes configured as slaves to the linking device and the linking
device itself are updated on this page.

Faulted Nodes

The Faulted Nodes page indicates which DeviceNet nodes are currently in a
faulted state. If a node is faulted, the page will display “Faulted” next to the
node’s MAC ID. Note that only nodes configured as slaves to the linking device
and the linking device itself are updated on this page.

A node is considered faulted if the linking device has lost communication or is
unable to establish communications with the node. The actual problem can be
determined by viewing the Node Status web page.

Invalid Nodes

The Invalid Nodes page indicates which DeviceNet nodes are not the correct
device type. If a node’s device type is different than that configured in the scan
list, the page will display ‘Invalid’ next to the node’s MAC ID. Note that only
nodes configured as slaves to the linking device are updated on this page.
