Chapter 1 Overview
Communication
The controller can act as a DeviceNet safety master or slave, as a DeviceNet
standard slave, or as a standalone controller when DeviceNet communication is
disabled. A single controller can function simultaneously as a safety master, safety
slave, and standard slave.
Explicit messages can be used to read controller status information. The user
program can be configured to send explicit messages from the user program. The
messages can be routed between DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP networks.
The USB port can be used to program the SmartGuard controller and to
configure devices on the DeviceNet network. The SmartGuard provides some
limited pass-through capability from USB to DeviceNet, for programming and
configuration purposes. When used in Standalone mode, the controller
communicates with the configuration software via USB communication.
Configuration and Programming
Use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, version 8.0 (minimum) or later
(version 9.1 is recommended), to configure, program, and monitor the status of
the 1752-L24BBB controller. Use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, version
9.1 or later, to configure, program, and monitor the status of the 1752-L24BBBE
controller. With RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, you can configure the
controller by using the SmartGuard controller’s USB port or via the DeviceNet
network or EtherNet/IP network.
You also need RSLinx® software, version 2.55 or later, which lets you configure a
1752-L24BBBE controller on EtherNet/IP.
The logic editor is launched from within RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
Basic logic operations, such as AND and OR, and function blocks, such as
ESTOP and light curtain, are supported. A maximum of 254 logic functions and
function blocks can be used in a maximum of 32 programming pages. You can
password-protect both configuration data and project files.
Status and Error Monitoring
The controller’s internal status information and I/O data can be monitored
online by using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software with either a USB,
DeviceNet network connection or EtherNet/IP network connection.
The status indicators and alphanumeric display on the controller provide status
and error information. When the service switch on the front of the controller is
pressed, the alphanumeric display shows the controller’s safety configuration
signature two digits at a time for a total of ten pairs of numbers.
