Operation
4.1 Overview
The 5136-DNS-200X DeviceNet Adapter is an IP67 compliant communications adapter for interfacing to Siemens ET200X
Expansion Modules. It is a module device capable of operating out of the box without any special configuration software, but
to take full advantage of advanced diagnostics and features, a configuration tool is required.
4.2 Operating Modes
The 5136-DNS-200X DeviceNet Slave Adapter operates in one of two modes: Automatic Configuration and User
Configured.
4.2.1 Automatic Configuration Mode
When operating in Automatic Configuration mode, the 5136-DNS-200X DeviceNet Adapter configures its I/O sizes, module
parameterization data and configuration data according to the combination of ET200X expansion modules present at power-
up or reset.
•
Expansion module parameter data cannot be specified
•
DeviceNet Configuration Consistency Value is based on the automatically generated I/O configuration bytes
•
I/O configuration cannot be verified – DeviceNet master is responsible for verifying configuration by examining I/O
sizes. The adapter module is unable to differentiate modules of similar configuration types (i.e. 2A Discrete Output
vs. a 0.5A Discrete Output module).
