DeviceNet I/O Configuration

DeviceNet I/O configuration involves using a DeviceNet configuration tool to set

the BridgeWay’s scan list and I/O table mapping. The following sections explain

how this is done using either Rockwell Software’s RSNetWorx for DeviceNet or

HMS’ NetTool-DN.

I/O Configuration Using RSNetWorx

Step 1: Set up BridgeWay module’s DeviceNet scan list

In most cases it will be necessary to return the BridgeWay to Idle mode as

described in “Step 4: Put the BridgeWay in Idle Mode” on page 4-2. Once in Idle

mode the following steps should be taken to configure the scan list.

• Select the Network menu and Browse Single Scan. Wait for browsing to

complete.

• Select the Network menu and Upload. Wait for the device information to

be uploaded from the network.

• Double click on the BridgeWay icon to bring up the module description

screen. Several tabs appear on the top of the screen.

• Click the Scanlist tab. The screen shows 2 columns. On the left is a list of

“Available devices” that may be added to the scan list. On the right is a

list of devices that are configured in the scan list.

• Check the AutoMap on Add check box.

• Select the devices whose I/O is to be exchanged with the EtherNet/IP

scanner from the “Available devices” column. Click the “>” button for

each one to move it to the scan list.

• Select the Input tab. The Input mapping screen is displayed. The top por-

tion gives a list of the devices in the scan list that the BridgeWay receives

input data from. The bottom shows the location in the Input table where

the data will be placed for each device. This shows the format of the

Input table of the BridgeWay. This is the format of the input data

that will be sent to the EtherNet/IP scanner. See “I/O Mapping” on

page 3-4.
