58 Setup, Programming, and Troubleshooting
Commissioning the DNI Your configuration software handles all interface issues for connection
to a DNI over a DeviceNet network. You use exactly the same
procedures to connect to a DNI as you do any other DeviceNet
product.
The DNI draws power from the DeviceNet connector. When the DNI
is connected to a DeviceNet network for the first time, the DNI
out-of-box configuration is:
• Node: 63
• Baud: Autobaud
Commissioning is accomplished with network configuration software
such as DNI Configuration Utility, RSNetWorx, or DeviceNet Manager.
There are two parameters that need to be set during the
commissioning process: the Node Address and Baud Rate.
Follow these steps to commission the DNI.
1. Connect the DNI to a PC through a DeviceNet interface device
(1770-KFD, 1784-PCD).
2. Execute mini-who screen to locate the target DNI.
3. If DeviceNet Autobaud is disabled, enter the DeviceNet baud
rate.
4. Enter the node address to be configured.
5. Apply changes. Status is shown in status bar.
6. Save changes.
IMPORTANT
If the tool you are using to commission the DNI is
connected to the DNI with a point-to-point
connection (Example: a 1770-KFD connected directly
to the DNI without any other devices), the
commissioning tool must not be set to Autobaud.
The DNI out-of-box configuration is set to Autobaud.
If both devices are set to Autobaud, they may hunt
and never find each other.
TIP
For DNI Series B, you will be able to commission the
DNI via the RS-232 port. This can be done using the
DNI Configuration Software Utility version 2.001
(when available). For applications that use only
DNIs, this will eliminate the need for configuration
tools (such as RSNetWorx and the 1770-KFD
Interface). You can simply use an RS-232 cable.
