Configuring the I/O

Chapter 4

In our example, a 1756-DNB scanner appears under the I/O
Configuration folder with its assigned name. For convenience, keep the
project open. Later in this chapter the project will need to be downloaded
to the controller.

Using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet Software to Configure and Save the
I/O to the Scanner

After adding the scanner to the I/O configuration, you now must configure and
save the I/O to the scanner.

1.

Start RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.

2.

From the File menu, choose New to display the New File dialog box.

3.

Select DeviceNet Configuration as the network configuration type.

4.

Click OK.

5.

From the Network menu, choose Online to display the Browse for
Network dialog box.

6.

Expand the communication path from your computer to the DeviceNet
scanner.

The following dialog box shows our example navigating to devices on a
DeviceNet network. Depending on the communication link you are using,
the navigation path may be different.
