Appendix
B
Enhanced DeviceNet Adapter’s Parameters
Appendix Objectives Appendix B provides information on the Enhanced DeviceNet
adapter’s parameters and how to configure them. In this appendix,
you will read about the following:
• Setting the node address.
• Setting the data rate.
• Using datalinks and command I/O.
• Using Master-Slave communications.
• Using Peer-to-Peer communications.
• Using Fault Configurable inputs.
• Parameters in the Enhanced DeviceNet adapter.
Important: The the number for parameters appears in parenthesis
after the name. This is the number in the adapter. If you are using
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, the number for each adapter parameter
varies depending on the type of drive you are using.
Setting the Node Address The Enhanced DeviceNet adapter has a default node address of 63.
This address should be changed to a unique address (between 0 and
62) on your DeviceNet network.
Important: If you are installing multiple Enhanced DeviceNet
adapters on the network at the same time or there is already a node 63
on the network, you need to do one of the following:
• Connect to each adapter using a serial point-to-point
connection and give each a unique address.
• Power up only one adapter at a time on the network and give
each a unique node address.
• If using software that supports the Fault Node Recovery
feature of DeviceNet, power up all the adapters at the same
time and give each a unique node address.
To set the node address, you need to:
1. Access the adapter’s parameters using either a serial connection
(refer to Chapter 3, Configuring the 1203-GU6 Enhanced
DeviceNet Module Using a Serial Connection) or over the
DeviceNet network (refer to Chapter 4, Configuring the
Enhanced DeviceNet Adapter Using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet).
