Configuring Your 1769-IT6 Module in a Remote
DeviceNet System with a 1769-ADN
DeviceNet Adapter
This application example assumes your 1769-IT6 thermocouple input module is
in a remote DeviceNet system controlled by a 1769-ADN DeviceNet adapter.
RSNetworx for DeviceNet software is not only used to configure your DeviceNet
network, but is also used to configure individual I/O modules in remote
DeviceNet adapter systems.
For additional information on configuring your DeviceNet scanners and
adapters, please refer to the documentation for these products, including the
Compact I/O 1769-ADN DeviceNet Adapter User Manual, publication
1769-UM001 . The adapter manual also contains examples on how to modify
I/O module configuration with Explicit Messages while the system is running.
Whether you are configuring an I/O module offline and downloading to the
adapter or you accomplish the configuration online, the 1769-IT6
Thermocouple module must be configured prior to configuring the DeviceNet
adapter in the DeviceNet scanner’s scanlist. The only ways to configure or
reconfigure I/O modules after the adapter is placed in the scanners scanlist are via
Explicit Messages or by removing the adapter from the scanner’s scanlist,
modifying the configuration of the I/O module, then adding the adapter back
into the scanner’s scanlist.
This example takes you through configuring your 1769-IT6 thermocouple input
module with RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, version 3.00 or later, prior to
adding your adapter to the scanlist of your DeviceNet scanner.
