    10. Troubleshooting

    Technique of Troubleshooting

    • Make sure Network option is ON


    • For MX150/250 -- can be set in user menu
    • For MX200 – Must be set in factory mode

    LonWork / Modbus GEZC Service School Slide 21 of 23


    10. Troubleshooting
    Technique of Troubleshooting

    • Make sure cable is less than 3000ft


    Otherwise add repeater.

    • Perform local communication


    1 master – to – 1 slave device

    • Perform global communication


    a. Configuration via 50P-1111
    b. EnerVista:
    b.1 – Setup
    b.2 – Plug-n-play

    • Have spare (good) devices


    (I.e. Converter, Modbus card)

    LonWork / Modbus GEZC Service School Slide 22 of 23


    11. Q&A
    • Terminating Resistor – For noise cancellation

    • Noise issue due to EMI effect (I.e. Motor drive)

    • Typically chassis ground one (master) end of shield but not both.
    (use Belden shielded pair)

    • Network length –
    • up to 3000 feet
    • More than 3000 feet will need a repeater

    • Need to understand the register map

    • Modbus’ connection is polarity specific

    • LonWork’s connection is non-polarity specific

    • Conversion of Half-to-full duplex or vice versa: Use 50W-1225
