3-2 Configuring the DeviceNet to SCANport Communication Module with Digital Inputs
You should change the node address by editing the DN Node Address
(2) parameter. Note: The number in ( ) following the parameter name
corresponds to the parameter number as found in Appendix B,
DeviceNet to SCANport Communication Module with Digital Inputs
Parameters. You must change the autobaud detection if no other
devices on your DeviceNet network have a fixed data rate by editing
DN Data Rate (3) parameter in the module.
Important: Refer to Appendix B, DeviceNet to SCANport
Communication Module with Digital Inputs Parameters, for
information on changing the node address or data rate.
If you wish to change other functions (e.g., Fault Configurable inputs)
or add more functions (e.g., datalinks), you must edit the adapter’s
parameters. To do so, refer to:
• Appendix B, DeviceNet to SCANport Communication Module
with Digital Inputs Parameters, for detailed information about the
adapter’s parameters.
• Instructions in this chapter on using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet to
edit parameters.
What is RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet? RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is a Windows application that lets you
configure DeviceNet networks. Using a graphical representation of
your network, you can configure network-wide parameters and the
network-wide schedule.
After installing or mounting the adapter, you can use RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet to configure or edit the adapter’s parameters.
Required Equipment and
Software Before configuring or editing your adapter’s parameters, your PC
must be:
• Running RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. Refer to
http://www.software.rockwell.com for more information on this
product.
• Connected to and communicating with the DeviceNet network
using a 1784-PCD card, a 1784-PCID card, a 1784-PCID5 card,
or a 1770-KFD adapter running with RSLinx. Refer to
http://www.software.rockwell.com for more information on the
RSLinx product. Refer to http://www.ab.com/products.html for
more information on “DeviceNet Network,” under “Networks and
Communication Products.”
