From VIPA you may receive an appropriate EDS file (

heet) for your DeviceNet coupler, which depends on your configura-
tion (number of modules). These files may either be found on the sup-
plied storage media or at the download area of www.vipa.com.
Please install the EDS file you require in your configuration tool.
Details on the installation of the EDS file are available from the
manual supplied with your configuration tool.

4.2.1 Accessing the I/O area
n
The DeviceNet coupler determines automatically the modules on
the System SLIO bus and generates from this the number of input
and output bytes.
n
During the configuration of the DeviceNet scanner the corre-
sponding overall length of the input and the output bytes is to be
preset. Information concerning the I/O allocation of a module may
be found in the corresponding manual.
n
The position (offset) of the input respectively output bytes within
the input respectively output data results from the order of the
modules (DeviceNet-Slot 1 ... 64).
n
By means of the base address, which is to be preset in the Devi-
ceNet scanner for the bus coupler and the offset you may access
the input or output data of a module.
n
During operation the DeviceNet coupler cyclically reads the input
data of the peripheral modules and serves for the last state of
these data for the DeviceNet scanner.
n
Output data, which the DeviceNet coupler has received from the
DeviceNet scanner, were directly transferred to the modules, as
soon as they were received.
1.
Turn off the power supply of the DeviceNet coupler and preset
the transfer rate and the DeviceNet address.
‘Transfer rate and DeviceNet address’ on page 45
2.
Start the configuration tool of your DeviceNet scanner.
3.
Set the DeviceNet scanner to connection type "POLL IO”.
4.
Enter the number of input and output data:
n
Number input data: Produced connection size
n
Number output data: Consumed connection size
5.
Enter a base address for the input and output data (mapping).
