1-1 Introduction
The CompoBus/D Configurator (DeviceNet Configurator) is a software package
that allows the user to setup and maintain an OMRON multi-vendor Compo-
Bus/D network through user-friendly graphical displays.
The software is connected to the CompoBus/D network by installing an ISA
board or PCMCIA card in a dedicated personal computer with a Windows 95/98
or Windows NT operating system.

Note Use the Remote Adapters in combination with Remote Terminals.
Settings must be made with the CompoBus/D Configurator in the following
cases.
1, 2, 3... 1. Two or more OMRON Master Units are mounted in a single PC
2. There are two or more OMRON Master Units in a network and one of the
following is true:
a) The Master Units have separate remote I/O communications.
(I/O communications with Slaves)
b) The Master Units communicate with each other through message com-
munications.
3. Remote I/O communications are carried out with I/O Words allocated by the
user.
4. Another company’s Slave is used which requires special parameter set-
tings.
5. An EDS file (a device definition file) is being used for another company’s
Slave.
Note 1. Do not use the CompoBus/D Configurator in a location with too much elec-
tromagnetic noise. In particular, it is possible for the personal computer to
run out-of-control when a PCMCIA Card is used and affected by noise,
although there won’t be any negative effects on the CompoBus/D network
even if noise causes the personal computer to run out-of-control.
