Communicate with Devices on a DeviceNet Network

Appendix A

Enter the label name for the card (this is the name you wrote on the

label of the card to help you identify the card from others in the same
computer).

9. Click Finish.

For RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00.00 or later, you can specify any
slot number for the communication card, as long as the RSLinx software
module is positioned in a slot other than its default 0. See

page 29

.

This example shows the 1784-PCIDS card as a virtual module in the
SoftLogix Chassis Monitor. The status indicators on the virtual monitor
emulate a 1756-DNB communication module.

This chassis monitor has a 1784-PCIDS card installed in Slot 3.

IMPORTANT

When you add a 1784-PCIDS card to the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor, the
card must be connected to a valid, powered DeviceNet network. The
baud rate you choose for the card must be the same as the baud rate
for the DeviceNet network, otherwise, the card fails to insert in the
SoftLogix Chassis Monitor.
