Rockwell Automation VSM500 Integrated Drive/Motor DeviceNet Option Board - Manual (Page 13)

Getting Started 1-3
1.4 Quick Start
This quick start is for users who have previously installed and configured a DeviceNet
network and Rockwell Automation drives. It may help reduce the time of installation.
Because this is a start up guide for experienced users, it does not contain detailed
instructions. It does, however, reference other chapters in this manual where detailed
information can be found.
Important: If you have questions or are unfamiliar with a term or step, always read
the referenced chapters or related documentation.
Steps Reference
1 Review the Attention statements for this product. Throughout this manual.
2 Verify that you have all required equipment. Chapter 1
3 Ensure that the VSM500 unit is correctly installed and wired. VSM500 Integrated

4 Install the DeviceNet option board on the VSM500 unit.
Mount and secure the option on the VSM500 unit. Ground the option by using a screw
and lock washer in top right corner (Figure 1.1). Then, connect the ribbon cable on
the DeviceNet board to the VSM500 unit.

5 Connect the DeviceNet option board to the network.
Use a DeviceNet cable to connect the option to the DeviceNet network.

6 Commission the VSM500 unit for the DeviceNet network.
Set the switches on the drive and DeviceNet option board. On the VSM500 unit, DIP
switch 10, which enables parameters, must be set to On before power is applied to
the VSM500 unit. On the DeviceNet option board, the DIP switches must be set so
that the VSM500 unit has a unique DeviceNet address and uses the data rate used
by the network.
Chapter 2
7 Apply power to the VSM500 unit and network.
Verify that the VSM500 unit is properly installed and configured (e.g., a unique node
address and the correct data rate). Apply power to the network and then to the
VSM500 unit. The COMM status indicator flashes green for 1/4 second, red for 1/4
second, and then goes blank while the option finishes its initialization. If the COMM
status indicator goes red, there is a problem. Refer to Chapter 7 for troubleshooting
information.

8 Apply power to the DeviceNet master and other devices on the network.
Verify that the master and network are installed and functioning in accordance with
DeviceNet standards, and then apply power to them.

9 Configure the unit for your application.
Use software such as RSNetWorx to set the parameters in the drive. If you set both
baud rate switches to On, you must set the parameters for the node address and data
rate. To receive control I/O and a reference via the DeviceNet network, you must set
the parameters for start source, speed reference source, output assembly, and input
assembly. In addition, you should verify that the settings of the fault mode and idle
mode parameters meet the needs of your application.

10 Configure the DeviceNet scanner.
Use software such as RSNetWorx to configure the scanner to communicate with the
VSM500 unit.
Chapter 4
11 Create a ladder logic program.
Create a ladder logic program that uses I/O to control the drive and/or explicit
messages to monitor and program the drive.
