ArmorStart Local Control Configuration

Chapter 4

Create a DeviceLogix Program on an ArmorStart Device

Configuring DeviceLogix smart components for local control can be accomplished with RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet software. With this software, you can set up DeviceNet components for system installation or
field maintenance through the use of pull-down menus and dialog boxes. DeviceLogix enabled products can
also be created and monitored using the 193-DNCT device. There are also two ways of creating the program;
Ladder editor and Function Block Editor. This accelerator will demonstrate the use of the Function Block
editor in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet.

The Function Block editor provides a graphical interface for configuring function blocks to provide local
control within DeviceLogix-capable devices, such as the ArmorStart controllers. Refer to the DeviceLogix
user manual for instructions on programming using the Ladder editor.

Follow these steps to create a DeviceLogix program on an existing network.

1. Open RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.

2. Go online with the DeviceNet network.

3. Double-click the ArmorStart icon.

The actual ArmorStart device and node
address may be different from the one
shown.

4. Click the DeviceLogix tab.

5. Click Upload if you are prompted.
