FlexLogix Back-Up on DeviceNet 105
Requirements of the Back-Up
The FlexLogix Back-Up on DeviceNet solution requires that you use
the following:
• RSLogix 5000, version 10 or higher
• 2 FlexLogix controllers, firmware revision 10.x or higher
• 2 1788-DNBO communication cards, firmware revision 2.x or
higher
Additional requirements are as follows:
• When setting up the DeviceNet network, you must set the
primary and secondary 1788-DNBO cards to the same node
address and reserve the next node address.
We recommend you set the primary and secondary 1788-DNBO
node addresses to 0 and reserve node 1. However, you can use
any successive node numbers (e.g. 30 and 31).
• All I/O and operator interfaces that required back-up must be on
DeviceNet.
• The scanlists in the two DeviceNet scanner must be identical.
IMPORTANT
Many applications use multiple communications cards in a
FlexLogix controller to communicate with several networks.
This solution requires the software and FlexLogix controllers
use version 10.x or higher.
However, if you are using the 1788-ENBT card in your
application, remember that you must use software and
FlexLogix controllers of version 11.x or higher.
