Appendix
B
DeviceNet to SCANport
Communication Module with Digital
Inputs Parameters
Appendix Objectives Appendix B provides information on the DeviceNet to SCANport
Communication Module with Digital Inputs parameters and how to
configure them. In this appendix, you will read about the following:
• Setting the node address.
• Setting the data rate.
• Using datalinks and command I/O.
• Using Master-Slave communications.
• Using Peer-to-Peer communications.
• Using Fault Configurable inputs.
• Parameters in the DeviceNet to SCANport Communication
Module with Digital Inputs.
Important: The number for parameters appears in parentheses after
the name. This is the number in the adapter. If you are using
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, the number for each adapter parameter
varies depending on the type of drive you are using.
Setting the Node Address The DeviceNet to SCANport Communication Module with Digital
Inputs has a default node address of 63. This address should be
changed to a unique address (between 0 and 62) on your DeviceNet
network.
Important: If you are installing multiple DeviceNet to SCANport
Communication Modules with Digital Inputs on the network at the
same time or there is already a node 63 on the network, you need to
do one of the following:
• Power up only one adapter at a time on the network and give
each a unique node address.
• If using software that supports the Fault Node Recovery
feature of DeviceNet, power up all the adapters at the same
time and give each a unique node address.
To set the node address, you need to:
1. Access the adapter’s parameters over the DeviceNet network
(refer to Chapter 3, Configuring the DeviceNet to SCANport
Communication Module with Digital Inputs).
