IMPORTANT
In this manual, we use Isysnet DeviceNet adapters to refer to
all the DeviceNet adapter modules (PSSCDM12A and
PSSCDM18PA). We use the specific catalog number (e.g.,
PSSCDM12A) to refer to a specific module.
In the rest of this manual (except Chapter 4), we refer to the
Isysnet I/O DeviceNet adapters as the adapters.
In Chapter 4, we refer to the Isysnet I/O DeviceNet adapter as
the scanner because the chapter describes how to configure
the adapter on the subnet.
Who Should Use This Manual
You must be able to use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet™ software,
or a similar configuration software, to configure your adapter.
In this manual, we assume you know how to configure an
adapter. If you do not, refer to your software user manuals, or
online help, before attempting to use these adapters.
We also assume you are familiar with the Isysnet I/O product
line, including other fieldbus interfaces, I/O modules, and power
supplies. If you are not familiar with these components, you can
read some of the Isysnet I/O documents listed in the Related
Products and Documentation section.
