193-DNCT Handheld Configuration Device, Revision 2.1 or Later

The 193-DNCT DeviceNet configuration terminal is a handheld device that can configure, program,
retrieve historical data, and monitor DeviceNet components, while directly connected to the network.
Commissioning is made simple with the capability to upload, store, and download complete device
configurations, while online with the network. This tool also aides in troubleshooting by providing
physical layer diagnostics and network bandwidth statistics.

Node Commissioning on Your DeviceNet Network

Once the DeviceNet media and/or cabling system is installed, you need to assign a unique node
number, between 0 and 63, to every device on the DeviceNet network. You can do this by setting the
rotary or dip switches or by using the Node Commission function via software or a handheld device.
Set each device on the network to the same communication rate: 125, 250, 250, or 500 Kbps.

Important:

The factory default for each device is 125 Kbps, set to node number 63 with autobaud
enabled.
