Information About DNI
Series B The following changes have been made which affect the EDS file.
• The Standby/Operational parameter has been removed from the
EDS file. The operating mode is now controlled by the I/O Scan
Enable parameter.
• Three new parameters have been added to the EDS file. The
parameters are:
– DF1 Substitution Address - The DF1 Substitution Address
allows any DF1 device, such as the MicroView, to
communicate to A-B controllers over the DeviceNet network.
– Input Split Point and Output Split Point - The split point
parameters are used to define how much data is configured
as Master/Slave I/O and how much data is configured for
explicit I/O assembly messaging.
ATTENTION
DNI Series A configurations are not compatible with
DNI Series B. You must manually re-enter the Series
A parameters into the Series B DNI. This step is
required because of the enhanced functionality of
DNI Series B.
