52 Configuring the DeviceNet Network
6. Click OK to upload the devices and go online.
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software begins browsing for network
devices. When the software is done browsing, the network
displayed on your screen should appear similar to the one
shown below.
Set the 1747-SDN Node Address
Once the devices are uploaded, their node addresses appear to the
right of their icons. For the example application, the 1747-SDN
module should have a node address of 0 (or 00). If you need to
change a module’s node address, use the following procedure.
TIP
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software performs a one-shot
browse when you go online or choose the browse feature. The
software polls for devices one time and displays the results. If
a node which was online later goes offline, there is no live
indication in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. You must
manually perform a browse to detect the missing node.
To manually perform the browse, press the button.
TIP
If RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software fails to find a device,
check the physical connection to the device. If the physical
connection is intact, verify that the device’s communication rate
is the same as the 1770-KFD driver’s communication rate.
TIP
You can use this procedure to change the node address of
other devices on the network (for example, the photoeye).
You can also change the network data rate (communication
rate) of some devices. Power must be cycled for baud rate
changes to take effect.
