Hey,
I ran into a problem with the daisy-chain boards EVAL-ADIN2111D1Z. I bought four of theses boards and set it up in a chain with a Wago Media Converter 852-1705, which is based on a ADIN1100 as far as I know.
I have connected 24V power to all modules from the same source. Then I have configured individual IP addresses for each board via USB. Access of the firmware web page was then possible for all modules and I could see the expected firmware pages with the connection parameter and statistics. So far so good!
my_network - Wago-MC - #1 - #2 - #3 - #4
Now I started to try the data-pass-through feature, but I am struggling to bring it to work.
I disconnect the power source of device #2 and am expecting that I still be able to see the devices #3 and #, because of the internal data-bypass relais that kicks in.
So basically the module#1 should establish a link to module #3 across the relay of the depowered #2.
This is unfortunately not the case. The link on module #1 and module #3 are both down, and resets or power cycles do not change the state.
I measured the bypass function with a multimeter and it connects the P1-D+ with P2-D+ and also the D- of both ports correctly, but the expected link between #1 and #3 is not established.
I can see that the LED on device #1 on the port (P1) going to #2 (P2) is not flashing anymore, and the firmware web page of #1 is also reporting "link down" for P1.
If I plug in the power for #2 back, the link comes up immediately and is working fine, so I can see all 4 devices on my_network.
I have used short twisted pair wires between the boards, length 0.30cm (12inch).
I played with connecting the earth and common grounds between the boards with no success.
Has any one experience with the daisy-chain with the bypass relay on the D1Z modules? Is it working for you?
Do you see somehing I have not understand correctly or have any idea what possible reasons this may have?
What would be the next best step to understand the problem and fix it?
Attached see the foto of the faulty state and some pictures of the web UI, the first three show the first three modules all connected and powered on. The last picture shows Modul #1 only (10.0.0.35) with the link P1 down, although module #2 on P1 is relay-bridged and module #3 is powered on.
This is #1 after disconnection the power from module #2 showing the link P1 to module #2 down:
