Add Devices to the DeviceNet Network Chapter 4
2. Change the node address using the appropriate mechanism for the new
device.
Using the DeviceNet Node Commissioning Tool
A device’s network node address can be set using the Node Commissioning
Tool on the EtherNet/IP communication auxiliary module web page. This tool
uses the Network Who to view the DeviceNet modules on the network.
See the following guidelines when using the Network Commissioning tool.
• Only use this tool with an online DeviceNet network.
• Only use this tool when adding new devices to the network if:
– the new device does not feature a hardware mechanism to set the
node address or
– the new device’s node address is set higher than 63.
• Each time a new device is added to the DeviceNet network, the
procedures beginning on page 42 must be performed.
• To avoid conflict with duplicate node addresses, due largely in part to
modules having a factory node setting of 63, configure a module to the
online DeviceNet network one a time.
• Record the node address for each device that is set by the Node
Commissioning Tool.
Complete the following steps to set a device’s node address using the Node
Commissioning Tool on the EtherNet/IP communication auxiliary module
web page.
Mechanism Procedure
Rotary Switch
Turn the rotary switch dials to the desired node address value.
Usually, a small, flathead screwdriver is needed to turn the dials.
Once the device is powered up, the rotary switch settings are recognized. If the set
node address value needs to be changed, power down the device, turn the dials to
the desired setting, then power up the device again.
Push Wheel Switch
Turn the push wheel to the desired node address value.
NOTE: If the new device features a hardware mechanism and the node address is set at 63 or
lower, the Network Commissioning tool does not change the node address of the device.
