3. Quick Start
This section assumes the owner of the SLA5800/SLAMf Series device has a
fully operational and trouble-free communications network with appropriate
power supplies as defined in the DeviceNet specification. This section also
assumes that there exists, connected to the network, a “master” type of
device with Poll I/O scanning capability (generally this is the most common
application for a DeviceNet network).
3.1. Step 1: Set Baud Rate and MAC ID
Two sets of switches are provided for setting the communication baud rate
and for setting the MAC ID of the device. The default MAC-ID is 63. Set
these switches on the PC(s) to the desired values.
3.1.1. Baud Rate
The switch labeled “RATE” sets the baud rate of the PC. Possible values
along with their corresponding label are (see figure below): “1” = 125K baud,
“2” = 250K baud, and “5” = 500K baud, “P” = Software programmable where
DeviceNet communications may be used to set the baud rate to one of the
above values. The out-of-box default setting is 500K baud.
