Who Should Use
This Manual
You must be able to use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet™ software or a
similar configuration software to configure your adapter.
In this manual, we assume you know how to configure an adapter. If
you do not, refer to your software user manuals or online help before
attempting to use these adapters.
We also assume you are familiar with the ArmorPoint I/O product
line, including other fieldbus interfaces, I/O modules, and power
supplies. If you are not familiar with these components, you can read
some of the ArmorPoint I/O documents listed in the Related Products
and Documentation section.

IMPORTANT
In this manual, we use ArmorPoint DeviceNet
adapters to refer to all the 1738 DeviceNet adapter
modules (1738-ADN12, -ADN18, -ADN18P, and
-ADNX). We use the specific catalog number (e.g.,
1738-ADNX) to refer to a specific module.
In the rest of this manual (except Chapter 4), we
refer to the ArmorPoint I/O DeviceNet adapters as
the adapters.
In Chapter 4, we refer to the ArmorPoint I/O
DeviceNet adapter as the scanner because the
chapter describes how to configure the adapter on
the subnet.
