Issue
Duplicate Infinet ids can result if previously configured i1/i2 device is connected to field bus after power up.
Environment
All i1 and i2 devices.
Cause
Duplicate Infinet ids can result if previously configured i1/i2 device is connected to field bug after power up.
Resolution
When an Infinet device with an assigned Infinet id comes up before it joins the Infinet token passing it performs a self test routine that detects whether its id is already in use, in which case the device rolls its own id back to factory default (zero) and stays off the bus until commissioned.
In order to make sure the duplicate id detection works, the device MUST be connected to the Infinet BEFORE it is powered up.
