Configure the Terminal as a Scanner

Chapter Objectives

The procedures in this chapter build on the example configuration in
Chapter 2. In this chapter, you will configure the PanelView Plus as a
scanner and the 1756-DNB DeviceNet module as the slave device. The
PanelView Plus will scan I/O from the 1756-DNB DeviceNet module.

Configure Communications

In this section, you will learn how to:

• configure slave input and output data for the 1756-DNB module.
• view the structure of the DeviceNet input and output table when

browsing for tags.

• copy the RSLinx software configuration to the Target tab.

Configure the Slave Inputs and Outputs

To place the device in Idle mode:

• For the PanelView Plus, load the application but do not run it.
• For the 1756-DNB module, put the ControlLogix 1756-L63

processor in Program mode. This action will clear the run bit
Local:2:O.CommandRegister.Run.

You are now ready to configure the slave inputs and outputs in the
1756-DNB module. The PanelView Plus terminal will scan these
inputs and outputs.

• One DINT or four bytes of input data, starting at byte 4.
• One DINT or four bytes of output data, starting at byte 4.

The PanelView Plus can scan 2048 bytes of input data and 2048 bytes
of output data. The number of input and output bytes is minus any
slave I/O data configured in the PanelView Plus.

IMPORTANT

To change the scanlist for a device on the network, you must
place the device in Idle mode before downloading the changes.
For the PanelView Plus, you can load the application but not run
it. For the 1756-DNB module, put the ControlLogix processor in
Program mode.
