Adapter Features
Your adapter uses the following features on both the DeviceNet
network and the PointBus:
• Self-Test
• Field Upgradable Firmware
• Fully Software Configurable
• Connections
• Baudrates
Self-Test
On power-up, the adapter performs a self-test. The adapter tests
various internal and programmatic memories and checks the status
indicators (LEDs).
Field Upgradable Firmware
You can update the adapter’s firmware with the ControlFlash Utility
software. This feature lets you always use the most current application
code.
Fully Software Configurable
The adapter is fully software configurable using RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet. You must configure the adapter for use with a DeviceNet
master (e.g., 1756-DNB) and separately for use with Subnet devices.
For more information on how to configure your adapter for use with a
DeviceNet master, see Chapter 5.
For more information on how to configure your adapter for use with
Subnet modules, see Chapter 4, Configuring the 1734-ADN(X)
Adapter’s SubNet.
