Autosense devices

When the Diagnostics program opens, devices (fieldbus, Profibus, or AS-Interface) do not appear under the port until you autosense the devices.

Note

The cards must be configured and the ports enabled to autosense devices. The yellow LEDs on the card indicate communication with devices.

To autosense devices

Select the port under the card. New devices are added to the hierarchy while the port is selected.

Tip

When Details View is selected, new devices are also added to the Contents View and device state and address changes are logged in Integrity History.

Tip

If a fieldbus device is deleted or if a device previously in a non-commissioned state is not responding, the Diagnostics program overlays the on the device and labels it RescanThisPort XXXX (where XXXX is the Physical Device Tag of the device). Rescanning the port updates the list of devices under that port.

To rescan a port

Right-click the port, and then select Rescan Port to update the hierarchy for the port.

Note

The Diagnostics program automatically adds devices to the hierarchy as it detects them but, (to draw attention to potential problems), does not automatically remove deleted devices from the hierarchy. Use the Rescan Node command to manually remove deleted devices from the hierarchy.
