DeviceNet Network Configuration

DeviceNet MAC ID

The DeviceNet MAC ID is software configurable; there are no switches used to

set it.

When first powered, the factory default configuration sets the MAC ID to 63. The

allowable range for MAC ID is 0 - 63.

A DeviceNet node commissioning tool (e.g. RSNetWorx or NetTool-DN) is used

to set the MAC ID to the desired value for the application. The value is stored in

non-volatile memory and used on subsequent power ups.

DeviceNet Baud Rate

The DeviceNet baud rate is software configurable; there are no switches used to

set it. The baud rate can be set to one of the 3 supported rates, or the module can

be configured to use automatic baud rate detection.

When first powered, the factory default configuration sets the baud rate to

125Kbps. The BridgeWay supports baud rates of 125, 250, and 500 Kbps.

If the baud rate is to be set, a DeviceNet node commissioning tool is used to set

the baud rate to the desired value for the application. The value is stored in non-

volatile memory and used on subsequent power ups.

If autobaud is desired, the option must be enabled. This is done through a class/

instance editor in RSNetworx, or through the parameter editor in NetTool-DN.

See “DeviceNet Network Configuration” on page 4-1 for details on setting this

option using these tools.

Note: When the autobaud option is enabled, the baud rate attribute cannot be

changed.
