Step 3: Register the BridgeWay EDS file with NetTool-DN

NetTool-DN requires an electronic data sheet (EDS) to recognize a device and its

capabilities. An EDS file is available on the Pyramid Solutions web site. The EDS

file must be registered with NetTool-DN before configuration can continue.

•From the Tools menu, select Install EDS Files.

• Enter the path, or browse to the location of the EDS file for the Bridge-

Way.

• Click Open.

• Select the Tools menu option, then Update, and click on the network

name. The BridgeWay icon should be properly displayed on the network

screen.

Step 4: Put the BridgeWay in Idle Mode

The BridgeWay powers up in Idle mode, and is controlled by the EtherNet/IP

scanner through the output command register. Make sure that the module is in Idle

mode by verifying that the BridgeWay Status LED is flashing green (the LED is

solid green when the module is in Run mode). If the module is not in Idle mode,

place the connected Ethernet scanner in Idle or Program mode.

Step 5: Set the DeviceNet MAC ID

• Right click on the BridgeWay icon and select Device.

• Pull down the next menu and select Change Node Address.

• Select or enter the desired MAC ID and click Ok.

Note: The BridgeWay will automatically reset if a new MAC ID is entered.

Note: When the MAC ID is changed, the BridgeWay’s I/O configuration is

cleared.
