along current carrying conductors.
This would include the welding
cables.
2. Verify that the DeviceNet bus is
terminated correctly.
3. Verify that the cable shielding is
correctly grounded at the bus
power supply. The shield should
be tied into the bus ground at only
one point.
4. Verify that the power supply can
supply more than enough current
for the devices in the network.
5. Verify that 1000/(Expected Packet
Rate) ≤ (scans per seconds). The
Monitor section of the Observer
