Enhanced DeviceNet Adapter’s Parameters B-9
3. If transmitting 4 words, set the Peer B Output (39) parameter to a
different source of output data.
4. Set the Peer Output Time (41) parameter to the minimum time
interval between peer messages.
5. Set the Peer Output Skip (42) parameter to a value between 1 and
16. The product of this value and the value of the Peer Output
Time (41) parameter determine the maximum time interval
between peer messages if there is not a change in status.
6. Set the Peer Output Enable (40) parameter to On.
Your adapter is now configured to transmit I/O data to another
Enhanced DeviceNet adapter. Make sure another Enhanced
DeviceNet adapter on the DeviceNet network is configured to receive
peer data. Refer to the “Enabling the Adapter to Receive Peer I/O”
section in this chapter.
Using Fault Configurable Inputs You can select constant values that your adapter will maintain in the
event of a controller mode change or error. These constant values are
referred to as Fault Configurable inputs. When the controller is placed
in program mode or a DeviceNet network fault occurs, the control
outputs from the adapter to the SCANport product can be set to
automatically switch to the constant values set in the Fault Cfg In
parameters. This lets you define a safe operating state for controlled
devices that depend on pre-programmed output from the adapter.
If you intend to use Fault Configurable inputs, you must do the
following:
1. Set desired values for the Fault Cfg Logic (11), Fault Cfg Ref
(12), and Fault Cft In (13 – 20) parameters.
2. Set the Idle Fault Config (9) parameter and/or the Comm Flt
Action (10) parameter to Fault Cfg.
Refer to Chapter 3, Configuring the 1203-GU6 Enhanced DeviceNet
Module Using a Serial Connection, or Chapter 4, Configuring the
Enhanced DeviceNet Adapter Using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, for
instructions on editing parameters.

ATTENTION: Risk of severe bodily injury or
equipment damage exists. The Idle Flt Action (9) and
Comm Flt Action (10) parameters allow the user to
change the default configuration that would allow the
module and associated drive to continue to operate if
communication is lost. Precautions should be taken to
assure that your settings for these parameters and your
application do not create a hazard of bodily injury or
equipment damage.
