DNI Software Files

To configure the DNI as an I/O slave device on a DeviceNet network,
you may need to obtain two software files. These two files provide
your network configuration software with the information it needs to
interface with the DNI.

DNI Series A Information

RSNetWorx and DeviceNet Manager (version 3.0 and higher) include
the files necessary for DNI Series A.

DNI Series B Information

To configure the Series B DNI, you must have the Series B DNI EDS
file installed in your DeviceNet configuration software. RSNetWorx
DeviceNet Network Management software version 2.11.36 or higher
includes all Series B DNI files. You can also download the new files
from http://www.ab.com/micrologix.

The following table shows the old and new file filenames:
