Set Up the Software
Use 6200 programming software to configure your ControlNet
system, including:
•
defining network parameters (i.e. network update time, media
redundancy usage, physical media configuration, maximum
scheduled node, maximum unscheuled node)
•
entering the channel 2 configuration
Before you install your programming software, make certain you
meet the requirements for that software. Then, follow the procedures
outlined in the online help and documentation to install the software
and configure communication.
Start the programming software by following the procedures
described in your programming software documentation.
If you have difficulty, verify that the power supply is turned on.
To monitor your system as you configure and run it, check the
processor LED display for the following indicators:
This LED: lights when:
COMM you establish communication, if connected via the
serial port
BAT no battery is installed or the battery voltage is low
FORCE forces are present in your ladder program
Power up the system if you have not done so already. Check the
LED display on the processor. If you are using NAP cable, then the
ControlNet LEDs will flash red. If you are using coaxial trunk cable,
with taps and terminators, then the ControlNet channels that are
connected will be steady green, and those that are unconnected will
flash red.
