Getting a Device on the Network

Node Commissioning of Devices Every DeviceNet device needs at a minimum a unique node address (0-63) and appropriate data rate (125kb, 250kb, or 500kb) set prior to gaining access to the network. NOTE: devices default to address #63, data rate 125 kbps fresh out of the box. –Hardware (set via dip switches, push wheel) e.g., RediSTATION –Software only (set via PC, HHT) e.g., DeviceLink, ArmorBlock I/O –Both hardware and software e.g., Series 9000 photoeye –Autobaud e.g., Flex I/O, ArmorBlock I/O, DeviceView

Configuring Devices on DeviceNet Setting Up Internal Operating Parameters Hardware –e.g., RediSTATION Software –Custom Applications e.g., Drive Tools, GML, Flex I/O, AdaptaScan –Electronic Data Sheets (EDS) RSNetworx pre-installed 3.5 floppy disk w/device Internet/BBS Factory-stored on product

Replacing Devices Set node address, data rate (or Autobaud) Configure device parameters Connect device to system Slave devices must pass electronic key –Manufacturer –device type –part number NEW! Auto Device-Replace ( ADR )

Automatic Device Replace ( ADR )

Auto Device Replace ( ADR ) RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software must be used to configure ADR feature. ADR consists of two parts which are Node Recovery and Configuration Recovery. Node Recovery cause the node number of the replacement device to be automatically changed to the node number of the original device. This feature needs the replacement devices node number to write-able over the DeviceNet network and its node number must be 63 to begin with. Configuration Recovery will cause the replacement devices configuration to be set to the configuration in the scanner (which you would have made identical to the original device). The replacement device must be able to have its configuration written via the DeviceNet network. Configuration Recovery files are stored in the master scanner that is communicating with the original device by RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. Electronic key of replacement device must match the original device as set in the Scanlist settings in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. #55 #63 Replacement Device Original Device 1747-SDN V4.015 or higher
