Configure the DeviceNet Network

In this chapter, you configure the DeviceNet node address for the 1769-SDN scanner module.
You also create the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet file that stores network configuration.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, complete these tasks:

The tasks described in Chapter 1,

Prepare the CompactLogix 5370 L2 Controller

Hardware on page 17

, including the following:

Install the DeviceNet network.

Install the controller and the local expansion 1769-OB16 and 1769-SDN modules.

Wire power to the controller.

Make network connections.

IMPORTANT

Not all tasks described in this quick start are required to complete the final task, that is, use ladder logic to test a
1769-OB16 output module as described beginning on

page 63

. For example, you do not need a DeviceNet configuration

file to test the module.

We expect that you might attempt to complete additional tasks with your control system by using the publications
listed on

page 11

relating to using a component over a DeviceNet network in a Logix5000 control system. When you use

those publications, some assumptions are made. For example, if you use POINT I/O modules over a DeviceNet network in
a CompactLogix 5370 L2 control system, you must have already created a Logix Designer project and created a
DeviceNet configuration file.

If you complete all of the tasks described in this chapter, you can easily complete the tasks described in the publications
listed on page 11 related to using a DeviceNet network.
