Configuring Your Very High Speed Counter 
Module

This chapter describes how to configure your Very High Speed 
Counter modules with RSNetworx.

Configuration Overview

You must use the RSNetworx for DeviceNet software to configure 
your module. You can configure the module while it is:

•

online

or

•

offline

This chapter shows configuration in the online mode. Configuration 
screens appear similar in both modes. The primary difference is that if 
you make changes offline, you must go online before the 
configuration changes take effect.

Adding the Adapter to Your Network

Follow these steps:

1.

Start the RSNetworx for DeviceNet software.
