Configuring the I/O

7.

Click OK after selecting a valid path to the DeviceNet network (for this
example, A, DeviceNet).

If a message box appears about uploading or downloading information,
click OK.

As the selected DeviceNet path is browsed, RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software creates a graph view window that shows a graphical
representation of the devices on the network.

If the icon for the drive (for this example, PowerFlex 755) on the network
appears as Unrecognized Device, use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software
to create the PowerFlex 750-Series drive EDS file.

The EDS file for a PowerFlex 750-Series drive differs from EDS files for all
other PowerFlex 7-Class drives in that the file does not contain any drive
or peripheral parameters. Therefore, when the EDS file is being created for
a PowerFlex 750-Series drive, no parameters are uploaded and there is no
Parameters tab, which normally appears on the Drive Properties screen.

8.

Either create the EDS file by uploading it from the online device on the
network or download the EDS file from the Rockwell Automation website.
