DeviceNet Node
Commissioning
Establishing a DeviceNet Node Address
The ArmorStart is shipped with a default node address of 63 and Autobaud 
enabled. Each device on a DeviceNet network must have a unique node 
address or MAC ID which can be set to a value from 0…63. Keep in mind 
that most DeviceNet systems use address 0 for the master device (Scanner) 
and node address 63 should be left vacant for introduction of new slave 
devices. The ArmorStart offers two methods for node commissioning as 
shown in the following pages.
Node Commissioning using Software
To set the node address of the ArmorStart using software or other handheld 
tools, leave the hardware rotary switches in their default position (99) or 
insure that they are set to something greater then (63). With the hardware 
switches set, use the software or handheld tool to change the address. 
When using software to node commission a device, it may be necessary to 
have the EDS file stored on the computer. The EDS file defines how the 
software such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet will communicate to the 
ArmorStart. Rockwell Automation product EDS files are available on the 
internet at: http://www.ab.com/networks/eds
.
You must use RSNetWorx
for DeviceNet Revision 3.21 Service Pack 2 or later.
