Configuring the Enhanced DeviceNet
Adapter Using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
Chapter Objectives Chapter 4 provides information that you need to configure the
1203-GU6 module or 1336-GM6 board over the DeviceNet network.
In this chapter, you will read about the following:
• RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
• Equipment necessary to use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
• Editing the 1203-GU6 or 1336-GM6 adapter’s parameters using
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet.
Important: You must use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet to configure the
1336-GM6 board. The 1203-GU6 module can be configured using
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, DriveExplorer, or terminal emulation
software (Chapter 3, Configuring the 1203-GU6 Enhanced DeviceNet
Module Using a Serial Connection).
Important: Refer to Appendix B, Enhanced DeviceNet Adapter’s
Parameters, for information on changing the node address or data
rate.
What is RSNetWorx for DeviceNet? RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is a Rockwell Software application that
can be used to set up DeviceNet networks and configure connected
devices. RSNetWorx for DeviceNet (version 2.22.18) and RSLinx
(version 2.10.118) were used for examples in the manual. Different
versions may differ in appearance and procedures.
After installing or mounting the adapter, you can use RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet to configure or edit the adapter’s parameters.
Required Equipment and Software Before configuring or editing your adapter’s parameters, your PC
must be:
• Running RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. Refer to
http://www.software.rockwell.com for more information on this
product.
• Connected to and communicating with the DeviceNet network
using a DeviceNet interface such as a 1784-PCD card or a
1770-KFD adapter.
