Configuring DeviceNet Address The ArmorStart® is shipped with a default switch setting of 99 and Autobaud
enabled. When a value greater than 63 is read, then the node address will be set to
the value stored in memory. From the factory the node address will be set to 63.
The Each device on a DeviceNet network must have a unique node address
which can be set to a value from 0 to 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 .The node address for a device can be changed
using software or by setting hardware switches that reside on electronic control
module (ECM). While both methods yield the same result, it is good practice to
choose one method and deploy it throughout the system. For software
configuration ensure that the node address is set to 99 and use RS Networx node
commissioning wizard.
