Included with the IOLinx for 1784-PCIDS driver
CD is a stand-alone test application
(DNetTest.exe) that lets you diagnose simple
problems over the network before the control
application may be available for integration.
In addition, you can use the application to make
certain that the PCIDS module has been correctly
installed and is functioning in the PC.
Important: The DeviceNet Test Application
and diagnostic utility is restricted to
the scanner card (1784-PCIDS).
The test application provides the features
described on pages 14 through 16, which include:
•
configuring the port
•
creating a view
•
using scanner mode
•
reading inputs
•
writing outputs
•
using the device status screen
Starting the Test Application
The test application is automatically installed as
part of the driver installation procedure, although
it does not show up as a shortcut on your screen.
To start the test application, press Start
→
Programs
→
Rockwell Software
→
IOLinx
→
IOLinx for DeviceNet
→
DeviceNet Test.
The test application assumes that you have the card
installed, the network is powered, and a scan list
is loaded into the 1784-PCIDS using RSNetWorx
for DeviceNet V2.11.51 or later. If the driver
cannot establish communication with the module,
an error message is displayed.
