Figure 3: Settings > Device Configuration
Note 1: The offset addresses set in this window are for the addressing of the input data and output data
in the Master. These address settings (offsets) are not the settings in the DeviceNet device (Slave). The
DeviceNet device (Slave) organizes its data itself.
Note 2: The input data and the output data from the bus are transferred directly to the dual-port memory
in the DeviceNet Slave. These offset addresses are related to the Master.
The File Name displayed is the EDS file for the device.
The Description and MAC ID fields display the entries made during the selection phase of the Slave
device. Both entries can be set/changed here.
The checkbox Activate Device in actual configuration decides, whether the Master tries to establish
the communication with the Node or not. If a Node is physically not present in the network but will be
present in future then the checkbox should not be checked. This suppresses unnecessary requests by
the Master to devices that do not exist, but the device insertion reserves process data in the process data
image of the Master.

MAC ID (Device network address)
The network address of a device serves to distinguish itself on a DeviceNet fieldbus system from any
other device or Slave on this network. This should be a unique number for each device. A valid MAC-ID
address is within a range of 0 to 63 and can be re-entered and changed in the MAC-ID box in the Device
Configuration Dialog.
