Configuration” on page 3-16.)
• Highlight the Anybus-X module by right clicking with the cursor on its
icon.
• Select the Device menu option and pull down menu, then select Proper-
ties. A parameter screen is displayed.
• Click on Upload. The parameter values will be read from the device.
• Put the cursor “Autobaud” parameter value. Click to highlight it and then
click again to get a menu. From this menu select “Enable” or “Disable” to

• Click Download to send the mode change to the Anybus-X.
• Click Close.
Note: Changes to the autobaud option configuration do not take effect until the
module has been power cycled.
Note: If the Anybus-X is the only master on the DeviceNet network, DO NOT
enable autobaud. Automatic baud detection requires there to be traffic on the net-
work, there is typically no traffic until the master establishes connections.
