TIP

Browse the network by expanding the DeviceNet port on the desired
1784-PCIDS communication card.

The driver’s Status should be
“Running”. If not, there is a
problem. Check the physical
connection to the 1784-PCIDS
card. If the physical connection is
intact, verify the network baud
rate and ensure that the
1784-PCIDS card’s node number is
unique. Also check the external
24V power connections. The
Network LED on the 1784-PCIDS
card should be solid or flashing
green when the card is connected to
the DeviceNet network.
