DeviceNet Network Installation
For wiring the DeviceNet network to the
Power Wave, see the document "DeviceNet
Cabling Planning and Installation manual",
Allen Bradley Publication DN-6.7.2. This doc-
ument can be downloaded from the Allen
Bradley web site. Connect the Power Wave to
the trunk or drop using a female
‘
sealed-mini
’
style connector. Avoid routing the DeviceNet
control cables in close proximity to the weld-
ing output leads. The Power Wave has no
internal DeviceNet bus termination.
Some DeviceNet scanners require an EDS
file be install before they can connect to the
device. If your DeviceNet scanner does not
require an EDS files to be installed, this step
can be skipped. The EDS files for the Power
Wave are located on the CD that was shipped
with the DeviceNet Module.
To find the correct EDS file to install, go to the
DeviceNet Configuration screen in Observer
(complete Installation Software). The bottom
left of this lists the Product Code and Vendor
Revision. Based on these settings, pick the
appropriate EDS file, see the table below for
more information on which EDS file to use.
Note that the product code that the DeviceNet
reports back is based on software that is
loaded into the control board.

Connect PC to Power Wave
With a standard 9 pin to 25 pin RS232 serial
cable (Radio Shack cat no. 26-269), make a
connection with the Power Wave and a PC.

Verify that no other application is using the
serial port. This includes any Hot Sync
Application.

DeviceNet Software Settings
With the PC connected to the Power Wave,
double click on the Power Wave Utilities on
the Desktop to run the Power Wave PC appli-
cation Launching program.
From the Applications tab select DeviceNet
Observer. This will run Power Wave
Observer.
Select the appropriate communication port
and click OK.
Note 1: MAC ID
Using bank S2, and switches 3 to 8, set the
DeviceNet MAC ID on the gateway board.
Note that every device on a DeviceNet net-
work must have a unique MAC ID. Use table
3 in this section of the report to set the correct
MAC ID. Changes to the DeviceNet MAC ID
or Baud Rate require a cycle of power in order
for them to take effect.
