Rockwell Automation DeviceNet Communications Module - Manual (Page 81)

Using Multi-Drive Mode 8-7
Module Settings for the Example Program
• The Mode Jumper on the module is set to the Multi-Drive
operation position. See section 3.2, Commissioning the Module.
• All DIP switches on the module are set to CLOSED (all 0s). See
section 3.2, Commissioning the Module. The actual node address
will be set via a software parameter.
• The following module parameters are set:
Important: Drive node addresses change only after a power cycle.
Drive Settings for the Program Example
Parameter Value Description
02 - (DN Addr Cfg) 1 DeviceNet node address
15 - (DSI I/O Cfg) 4 “Drives 0-4” — 5 drives on 1 node
17 - (Drv 0 Addr) 1 1 Modbus address of Drive 0
18 - (Drv 1 Addr) 2 Modbus address of Drive 1
19 - Drv 2 Addr) 3 Modbus address of Drive 2
20 - (Drv 3 Addr) 4 Modbus address of Drive 3
21 - (Drv 4 Addr) 5 Modbus address of Drive 4
1 The settings for these parameters must match the parameter A104 (Comm
Node Addr) settings in the respective drives.
