Quick Start
This chapter can help you to get started using the 1761-NET-DNI
DeviceNet Interface (DNI). We base the procedures here on the
assumption that you have an understanding of MicroLogix products.
You should understand electronic process control and be able to
interpret the ladder logic instructions required to generate the
electronic signals that control your application.
Because this is a start-up guide for experienced users, this chapter
does not contain detailed explanations about the procedures listed. It
does, however, reference other chapters in this book where you can
get more information.
If you have any questions or are unfamiliar with the terms used or
concepts presented in the procedural steps, always read the
referenced chapters and other recommended documentation before
trying to apply the information.
Configure Peer-to-peer
Messaging Follow these steps to communicate with other controllers connected
to DNIs on a DeviceNet network.
1. Unpack and mount the DNI.
2. Connect the DNI to the DeviceNet network.
When power is first applied to the DNI, it resides at node 63 on
the network. The DNI out-of-box configuration is defaulted to
Autobaud; it synchronizes to the DeviceNet network baud rate.
3. Connect a DF1 device to the DNI.
The DF1 connection automatically enters the Autobaud mode; it
synchronizes to the attached DF1 device.
4. Connect to the DNI with your network configuration tool
(software such as the DNI Configuration Utility, RSNetWorx, or
DeviceNet Manager) and set the DNI to the desired node
number. This is called commissioning the DNI.
See Commissioning the DNI on page 58 for more details.
