Hi, this is my first post so be gentle.
I have recently been given the task of adding some functionality to an existing AB SLC that uses FlexIO with DeviceNet. I am trying to upload the current network configuration by configuring a DeviceNet driver in RSLinx, but am always greeted with "KFD32 Error: Operation timed out".
I checked the AB knowledgebase site, which points out possible problems:
1. DeviceNet network not working properly
2. KFD is not connected on the network
3. Incorrect Baud rate or MAC ID
4. COM Port conflict
I am sure the problem is not no. 1 because the system is in operation, and from all reports is operating correctly. No. 2 seems unlikley because I can see the PLC over the same connection when I configure the DH485 driver. No.4 also seems unlikley because I deleted all the other drivers to avoid this problem. No. 3, to me, is the only possible cause, however as I am unsure of the network baudrate, I tried all of the available, each with the same error message...
PLEASE HELP!
Ben.
