3. Flow Chart for DeviceNet Application
It is important to understand the sketch development flow. Here shows the
overall flow chart for utilizing the I-8124W.
Figure 3.1 Sketch Flow Chart
1. Active I-8124W Module
Before using the I-8124W, the users should activate it. There is an API
which is I8124_ActiveModuel to achieve this. The detail about this function is
described in the next chapter.
2. Edit configuration of all Slave Devices
It is necessary to provide all slave information to the I-8124W. There are
two methods to provide the data. One is that search all the slave devices by
the DNM_UtilityCE.(Ch5) The other is that calling the corresponding APIs to
add the devices which are like I8124_Add… and I8124_Remove…There are
more description in the next chapter.
By the way, there is important information. Finish editing the slave
information, the users need not to edit again by using these APIs like
I8124_Add… and I8124_Remove… This information already saved in the I-
8124W’s EEPROM. Even if the users power off the WinPAC or ViewPAC or
XPAC controller, the information still exists.
