Information About DNI Series B
The following changes have been made which affect the EDS file.
•
The Standby/Operational parameter has been removed from the EDS
file. The operating mode is now controlled by the I/O Scan Enable
parameter.
•
Three new parameters have been added to the EDS file. The parameters
are:
– DF1 Substitution Address - The DF1 Substitution Address allows any
DF1 device, such as the MicroView, to communicate to A-B
controllers over DeviceNet.
– Input Split Point and Output Split Point - The split point parameters
are used to define how much data is configured as Master/Slave I/O
and how much data is configured for explicit I/O assembly
messaging.
!
ATTENTION: DNI Series A configurations are not
compatible with DNI Series B. You must manually re-enter the
Series A parameters into the Series B DNI. This step is required
because of the enhanced functionality of DNI Series B.
Note: DNI Series A stopped shipping in June of 1999. DNI Series B
started shipping in July of 1999.
