Configure the DeviceNet Network
In this chapter, you configure the DeviceNet node address for the 1769-SDN 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 L3 Controller
, including the following:
–
Install the EtherNet/IP network
–
Install the controller and the local expansion module 1769-OB16 output module
–
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
. 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
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 L3 control system, you must have already created a Logix Designer application 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
related to using a DeviceNet network.
