Demonstration

What This Chapter Contains

Read this chapter to use the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet demonstration
network files and ladder logic programs provided for your Starter Kit.
The following table describes what this chapter contains and where to
find specific information.

What Does the DeviceNet
Starter Kit Demonstration
Do?

The sample RSNetWorx network file (.dnt) is the configuration of the
devices that are contained in your Starter Kit. The ladder logic
program (.rss, .rsp, .acd) provides a way for the devices to
communicate with the scanner and to perform basic functions or react
to a trigger.

The results of the network configuration and ladder logic are:

When you place your hand in front of the RightSight
Photoelectric Sensor
the processor (the location of the ladder
logic) tells the scanner that the green ControlTower Stack Light
needs to illuminate. The scanner then signals the Stack Light to
illuminate.

When you place a metal object in front of the Inductive
Proximity Switch
an analog value is sent to the processor (the
location of the ladder logic). The ladder logic monitors the
analog data and sends a message to the scanner to turn on the
CompactBlock outputs depending on the objects distance from
the Inductive Proximity Switch.

When you place a metal object directly on the Standard
Proximity Switch
connected to the ArmorBlock MaXum I/O,
the processor sends a message to the scanner to tell the red
Stack Light to illuminate.
