Adding Devices
Offline Follow these directions to add devices to your project offline.
1. In the Device List, double-click General Purpose Discrete I/O.
2. Double-click Allen Bradley Company, Inc.
3. Using the up- and down-arrow keys, scroll down to the second
DeviceLink - mini to mini connector (Revision 2.1). Observe the dialog
box at the bottom of the screen as you scroll through the list to see the
revision number.
4. While holding down the left mouse button (with the device highlighted),
drag the device name from the list to the DeviceNet network in the right
frame. Drop the device anywhere in this frame.
Note: The DeviceNet Manager 3.001 software provides a graphical
interface to build your network. Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files are
contained in the software. EDS files allow different devices to be added
to a project offline. These same EDS files also allow devices to be
configured both online or offline. EDS files can be quickly and easily
installed into the DeviceNet Manager software for any devices,
regardless of vendor, that will be connected to your DeviceNet network.
Tip: You can resize a window by
grabbing the frame edge with the
pointer (the pointer turns to a
double arrow) and dragging the
bar to the right or left.
