(3)  After Routing Detect is clicked, the display of the network architecture in the working area will change, and 
the Routing detect status window will appear. The way in which the node which is designated as the first 
station is connected to the computer is also shown in the working area. Please see the red circle in the 
figure below. 
 
 
(4)  After the detection is complete, the detection result will be shown in the working area. 
 
 
Additional remark 
If the detection fails, the users have to make sure of the following points. 
(a)  The users have to make sure that the IP addresses and the station addresses which are assigned to the 
devices and the communication setting in the devices are consistent with the setting in NWCONFIG. If 
AH500 series CPU modules or AH500 series modules are used, the users have to make sure that the 
parameters in the AH500 series CPU modules in HWCONFIG or the parameters in the AH500 series 
modules in HWCONFIG are set correctly, and downloaded to the AH500 series CPU modules or the 
AH500 series modules successfully. If DVP series PLCs or DVP series modules are used, the users have 
to make sure that the communication parameters in the related registers are correct. If other devices are 
used, the users have to refer to manuals for the usage of these devices, and make sure that the 
communication parameters in these devices are correct. 
(b)  The users have to make sure that all the network connection is consistent with the setting in NWCONFIG. 
They also have to make sure that every node is connected to a network correctly, and operates normally. 
(c)  Please refer to section 9.1.3, and make sure that the communication setting is correct.
