Duplicate addresses for AS-Interface happen; no big deal.  Just readdress the incorrectly addressed AS-Interface module and things are fine again.  But what if EVERY module on a network appears to be a duplicate address?  Listen to what really happened.  The second issue we were confronted with was a, AS-Interface network that just did not communicate reliably. Network too long?  Close, but not exactly. - When two gateways share a network, the master on one gateway must be disabled.  But, don't forget that mapping the gateway in the PLC can reactivate the previously disabled master!  Flip a bit in the output image and the issue goes away. - Besides observing the 100 m segment rule, it is really important to use cable that satisfies the AS-Interface specification.  Wiring a network using 22-gauge cable is just not going to work.
