8.2.3 Configuring Data Rate and Node Address
As noted, each device, computer and controller on a DeviceNet network is considered an
individual node for which a unique
Node Address number (between 0 and 63) is assigned.
The node address provides a means of numerically identifying each device on a DeviceNet
network.
Prior to operating the BIS M-623-071-A01-03-ST30 , you must verify that it has been
configured for the same Data Rate as your network and that it has been assigned a suitable
node address value. The Controller supports data rates of 125Kb (default), 250Kb and
500Kb and supports node addresses 1
– 63 (default: 63).
To change the data rate or node address, use either the "
Node Commissioning " tool in
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
or the “Balluff Dashboard™” utility running on a host computer
that is connected to the RS232 port on the Controller. The
Balluff Dashboard™
utility is
available on the Balluff Web site (www.balluff.com).
NOTE
When using node commissioning in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, modify only
one parameter at a time (either data rate or node address). After changing
the data rate, you must manually cycle power to your DeviceNet network for
the change to take effect.
Factory Default Configuration :
Data Rate = 125Kb
Node Address = 63
