Automatically Configure a DeviceNet Network Chapter 4

The AutoScan feature is automatically disabled in the scanner as soon as the
scanner configuration is modified by RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. For
example, any manual changes to the scanlist using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software disables the AutoScan feature in the scanner.

One new status code has been added to the Node Status list. This code is
presented in the Node Status Table.

When the scanner is in Run mode with AutoScan enabled, the scanner display
alternates between 65 and the scanner node address.

When a scanner is transitioned from Run mode to Idle mode while AutoScan
is enabled, it only scans the network for nodes that are not already in the
scanlist. However, while in Idle mode, an AutoScan DISABLE to ENABLE
transition causes the scanner to erase the existing scanlist and scan for all
nodes on the network.

The AutoScan feature checks for the Quick Connect setting in each slave
device and enables Quick Connect in the scanner if it is enabled in the slave
devices.
