DeviceNet I/O Configuration
DeviceNet I/O configuration involves using a DeviceNet configuration tool to set
the Anybus-X’s scan list and I/O table mapping. The following sections explain
how this is done using either Rockwell Software’s RSNetWorx for DeviceNet or
HMS’ NetTool-DN.
I/O Configuration Using RSNetWorx
Step 1: Set up Anybus-X module’s DeviceNet scan list
In most cases it will be necessary to return the Anybus-X to Idle mode as
described in “Step 4: Put the Anybus-X in Idle Mode” on page 4-3. Once in Idle
mode the following steps should be taken to configure the scan list.
•
Select the
Network
menu and
Browse Single Scan
. Wait for browsing to
complete.
•
Select the
Network
menu and
Upload
. Wait for the device information to
be uploaded from the network.
•
Double click on the Anybus-X icon to bring up the module description
screen. Several tabs appear on the top of the screen.
•
Click the
Scanlist
tab. The screen shows 2 columns. On the left is a list of
“Available devices” that may be added to the scan list. On the right is a
list of devices that are configured in the scan list.
•
Check the
AutoMap on Add
check box.
•
Select the devices whose I/O is to be exchanged with the EtherNet/IP
scanner from the “Available devices” column. Click the “>” button for
each one to move it to the scan list.
•
Select the
Input
tab. The Input mapping screen is displayed. The top por-
tion gives a list of the devices in the scan list that the Anybus-X receives
input data from. The bottom shows the location in the Input table where
the data will be placed for each device.
This shows the format of the
Input table of the Anybus-X. This is the format of the input data that
will be sent to the EtherNet/IP scanner. See “I/O Mapping” on
page 3-10.
