F-14 1788-CN2FF Installation Example
Installing Device
Descriptions (DDs) A DD is a file, which describes the FF device to the configuration
software. DD's are like the EDS files we use on DeviceNet and
ControlNet but DDs are typically 10 times larger.
The Device Descriptions need to be installed for all the devices that
you will connect to the Fieldbus, including the DD for the
1788-CN2FF.
1. Click DD Info.
You see:
The program will automatically install the Device Descriptions in
the default directory, C:\NIFBUS\DATA.
2. Click on Import DD.
The software program will install the
Device Descriptions in the default
directory C:\NIFBUS\DATA directory.
If you change this directory, the software
may not be able to find the DD’s.
DO NOT CLICK THIS BROWSE BUTTON!
IMPORTANT
If you accidently click Browse, go back and enter the
name of the default directory: C:\nifbus\data.
