DeviceNet
network error

(1) Check the wiring and connections for DeviceNet
cables and connectors.
(2) Check the baud rate for each DeviceNet device in the
network.
(3) Check the terminator (121

Ω) and connection status.

(4) Check the operation status of DeviceNet devices on the
network.
(5) Replace the MP940D.

the maximum
communications
cycle time
exceeds the
setting

Excessive traffic
on DeviceNet.
The
communications

setting is too
low for the I/O
command send
time.

Increase communications cycle time.

Communications
are occurring but
the receive data
refresh is
delayed

Excessive traffic
on DeviceNet.
The
communications
cycle time
setting is too
low for the I/O
response receive
time. The
processing load
for data
exchange with
the slaves is too
large.

(1) Increases communications cycle time for the
DeviceNet slaves.
(2) Increase the baud rate.
(3) Increase the setting of the CPU scan time for the I/O
allocation SYNC setting.
