I am setting up a very simple DeviceNet network...

1756-DNB Rev 7.2 node 0 - displaying "A#00 NoRX"
1794-ADN/B Rev 2.001 node 2 - ModNet Status LED flashing red, IOStatus LED off, Power GRN
RSLinx version 2.56
RSNetworx version 2.21.00 (Build 27)

I can browse the network with RSNetworx - AOK - it shows me both nodes.

When I go to the DNB scanlist, nothing is showing in "Available Devices", so can't add the ADN to the scan-list.

I've never seen this before, has anyone else ?

Wait, wait: RSNetworx 2.21 ? They're on Version 10 now.

Because the FLEX adapters use a custom applet rather than an EDS-based parameter editor, it's possible that the older RSNetworx software doesn't have an applet to handle the 1794-ADN Series B adapter, and therefore doesn't think it's an available slave device.

Thanks for the heads-up on the revision, Eddie. Stupid me should have researched how far back it was - I even got it wrong - it was 3.21 not 2.21. Perhaps it was a typo, or a mental aberration. Anyway, on the two counts of incompetence, I am now serving 10 days holding my head low and hiding with shame....

Does anyone know the part number for that plug that plugs into the 1771 devicenet scanner? The manual just says it is a linear plug, its 5 pins.
