Configuring the Adapter
Chapter 3 provides instructions and information for setting the
parameters in the adapter.
For a list of parameters, refer to Appendix B , Adapter Parameters . For
definitions of terms in this chapter, refer to the Glossary .
The DeviceNet adapter stores parameters and other information in its
own non-volatile memory. You must, therefore, access the adapter to
view and edit its parameters. The following tools can be used to access
the adapter parameters:
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet (version 2.22.18) and RSLinx (version
2.10.118) were used for examples in this manual. Different versions of
software may differ in appearance and procedures.
