I/O Configuration Using NetTool-DN
Step 1: Set up Anybus-X module’s DeviceNet Scanlist
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 4-7. Once in Idle
mode the following steps should be taken to configure the scan list.
•
From the network display screen right click on the Anybus-X icon and
select
Device
. Pull down its associated menu and select
Properties
. This
displays the Parameters screen.
•
Click on the
Scanner
tab. The scan list display screen appears with two
columns. The left column displays a list of devices found on the network
that can be added to the scanlist. The right column displays the devices
that are configured in the scanlist.
•
Click
Upload
to get the current settings.
•
Select the devices whose I/O is to be exchanged with the EtherNet/IP
scanner from the left column. Click the “>” button for each one to move it
to the scan list. A screen displaying the I/O configuration for the device
will be displayed; click
Ok
.
•
Click the
Input
tab. A screen is displayed for mapping the input data.
•
Select the device whose input data is to be mapped and click
AutoMap
.
This sets 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.
•
Click the
Output
tab. A screen is displayed for mapping the output data.
•
Select the device whose output data is to be mapped and click
AutoMap
.
This sets the format of the Output table of the Anybus-X. This is the
format of the output data that will be sent to the Anybus-X from the
EtherNet/IP scanner. See “I/O Mapping” on page 3-10
•
Select the
Scanlist
tab, and click the
Download
button to download the
scanlist to the Anybus-X.
•
The Anybus-X starts scanning as soon as it finds entries in its scanlist.
However, in Idle mode, output data will not be sent to the devices.
Note:
Automap is used in this example to for simplicity. In some cases, the user
may wish to organize the I/O data in other ways. See the NetTool-DN manual for
complete details on how to accomplish this.
