Rockwell Automation 1336-GM6 Enhanced DeviceNet Communications Module - Manual (Page 32)

3-2 Configuring the 1203-GU6 Enhanced DeviceNet Module Using a Serial Connection
You should change the node address by editing the DN Node Address
(2) parameter. You must change the autobaud detection if no other
devices on your DeviceNet network have a fixed data rate by editing
DN Data Rate (3) parameter in the module.
Important: Refer to Appendix B, Enhanced DeviceNet Adapter’s
Parameters, for more information on changing the node address or
data rate.
If you wish to change other functions (e.g., Fault Configurable inputs)
or add more functions (e.g., datalinks), you must edit the adapter’s
parameters. To do so, refer to:
• Appendix B, Enhanced DeviceNet Adapter’s Parameters, for
detailed information about the adapter’s parameters.
• Instructions in this chapter on establishing a serial connection.
• Instructions in this chapter on editing parameters.
Required Tools and Equipment To make a serial connection to the module, you need the following:
• A 1203-SFC serial cable.
• Either PC running a terminal emulation program
(e.g., HyperTerminal) or a VT100-compatible terminal.
Establishing a Serial Connection to
the Module The 1203-GU6 module’s software lets you do the following:
• Edit its parameters.
• View its event queue.
• View its I/O data values.
• View DF1 statistics.
• View its serial number.
• Perform a flash upgrade.
To access this software, you must make a serial connection to the
module from a PC running terminal emulation software or from a
VT100-compatible terminal. Refer to the following table:
