DeviceNet network setup
DESCRIPTION
Each device on a DeviceNet network is associated with a EDS file that contains all
necessary information about the device. This file is used by the DeviceNet configuration
tool during configuration of the network. The file is available for download at the GE
Multilin website at
(the EDS file is named
D485.EDS
).
It is necessary to import the EDS file in the DeviceNet configuration tool to incorporate the
D485 as a slave in the network. The properties for the D485 must then be configured from
the DeviceNet configuration tool. This includes setting up the MAC ID, input/output data
areas, and baud rate.
•
MAC ID
: The Mac ID in the DeviceNet configuration tool should be set to match the
one selected using the on board address DIP switches of the D485.
•
Baud rate
: The baud rate on the device shall match with the DeviceNet network baud
rate.
•
Setting up the input/output data areas
: Input/output data is used as IO polling data
by the DeviceNet master. Select the correct IO size in the DeviceNet configuration tool.
The last devices (end devices) on the DeviceNet network must be terminated with 120 ohm
resistors.
SELECTING THE INPUT
ATTRIBUTE FOR
POLLING AND COS
Once the device is added into DeviceNet Network, any instance from the assembly object
class can be selected for polled, COS and bit strobe data.
Select Input 1 as polled production data and Input 5 for COS production data through the
drop down menu and then download the settings to the device. The data length and offset
for each of the input and output can be read from the device in the parameter section of
device properties.
Figure 9-31: Selecting inputs for polled and COS production data
Use correct size of IO data for polled and COS connections. In this case, the input data size
is 6 bytes for Polled IO and 2 bytes for COS IO. The output data size is 4 bytes for polled IO
and 0 bytes for COS IO.
