DEVICE CONFIGURATION
Before using the E50 limit switch, you must configure the
device’s baud rate and network address. The baud rate
defaults to 125 kbaud, and the address defaults to 63.
Additional parameters you may wish to configure include the
on, off, and one-shot delay, and the operate mode. After
connecting the device to the network, use NetView or
another configuration tool to configure device.
Network Address
After connecting the E50 to the network, use the Netview
configuration software (or other configuration software) to
configure the device. Unless pre-configured, a new device
will have a default address of 63 at a baud rate of 125 Kbaud
when connected to the network.
CAUTION
Since all new DeviceNet devices are factory set to address
63, it is usually not a good idea to leave an address set at
63. Two nodes at the same address will cause a network
fault!
Built into the Cutler-Hammer Netview configuration software
is a function to locate nodes by continually flashing the
Module/Network Status LED between green and red. Once the
Netview configuration software is communicating to the E50,
the address and all other user configurable parameters can then
be programmed. (See the Netview manual for specific informa-
tion on how to change attributes.) A list of configurable
attributes can be found on page 5 of this manual.
Off-line Configuration
An E50 switch may be configured off-line by connecting it
directly to the configuration tool (PC with software or a
hand-held type tool) and following the instructions for on-
line configuration. 24 VDC must still be supplied to the
switch in order to configure it off-line.
