Configure Your Scanner

For this example we are using SKIT1. If you do not know how to map
the device inputs and outputs in relation to where your ladder logic
wants to find the devices, simply use the .dnt files provided.

We recommend using the provided files first. Get your network up
and running and then go back to the file you created and practice
mapping the inputs and outputs as outlined here.

Here’s an overview of what you need to do to configure your scanner.

1. Open the SKIT.dnt you created in Chapter 3 or the SKIT.dnt that

is provided for your Starter Kit. If you use the file provided the
scanlist and I/O mapping is already done for you.

2. Build the scanlist.

3. Edit the I/O parameters of the Inductive Proximity Switch.

4. Map the network inputs and outputs for each device.

5. Review the scanner summary window.

6. Download the software configuration to the scanner.

If You Want to Use the Pre-mapped .dnt File

If you are going to use the provided .dnt file that is already mapped,
follow these procedures:

1. Open the SKIT1.dnt (or the file for your SKIT) file. with the

scanlist already created and mapped for use with the associated
ladder logic file.

2. Click .

3. Click .
