Quick Start
This chapter provides a step by step explanation of configuration of the Anybus-X
Ethernet to DeviceNet Gateway. It is intended to be used as a beginner’s guide to
configuring and using the Anybus-X using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet or Net-
Tool-DN. It also demonstrates how easy it is to create your own webpage and
upload it to the module.
Requirements: An Ethernet network and a PC connected to that network, running
Windows™ 98/ME/2000/XP, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, a
DeviceNet configuration tool such as Rockwell Software’s RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet or HMS Net Tool-DN. RSLinx version 2.31 or later is required when
using RSNetworx.
DeviceNet Network Configuration
The configuration of the DeviceNet network interface involves using a DeviceNet
node commissioning tool to set the Anybus-X’s MAC ID and baud rate. The fol-
lowing sections explain how this is done using either Rockwell Software’s RSNet-
Worx for DeviceNet or HMS’ NetTool-DN.
Note:
The Anybus-X defaults to 125K baud out of the box. If your DeviceNet net-
work is not running at 125K baud, the Anybus-X must be powered up on a local
network with the node commissioning tool at 125K baud. Do not attempt to com-
mission the Anybus-X on a network configured at a different baud rate.
Node Commissioning with BWConfig
See “DeviceNet I/O Configuration” on page 3-16 for an explanation of the
DeviceNet configuration parameters and how they are set using BWConfig.
If BWConfig is used for DeviceNet node commissioning, skip to DeviceNet I/O
Configuration below.
