Configuring the IT6I to be
Used with a 1769-ADN
DeviceNet Adapter
This application example assumes your 1769sc-IT6I isolated thermocouple input module
is in a remote DeviceNet system controlled by a 1769-ADN DeviceNet adapter.
RSNetworx for DeviceNet is not only used to configure your DeviceNet network, but is
also used to configure individual I/O modules in remote DeviceNet adapter systems.
For additional information on configuring your DeviceNet scanners and adapters, please
refer to the documentation for these products, including the Compact™ I/O 1769-ADN
DeviceNet Adapter user’s manual, publication 1769-UM001A-US-P. The adapter
manual also contains examples on how to modify I/O module configuration with Explicit
Messages while the system is running. Whether you are configuring an I/O module
offline and downloading to the adapter or you accomplish the configuration online, the
1769sc-IT6I isolated thermocouple module must be configured prior to configuring the
DeviceNet adapter in the DeviceNet scanner’s scanlist. The only ways to configure or re-
configure I/O modules after the adapter is placed in the scanners scanlist are via Explicit
Messages or by removing the adapter from the scanner’s scanlist, modifying the
configuration of the I/O module, then adding the adapter back into the scanner’s scanlist.
This example takes you through configuring your 1769sc-IT6I isolated thermocouple
input module with RSNetworx for DeviceNet, version 6.00 or later, prior to adding your
adapter to the scanlist of your DeviceNet scanner.
