Quick Start

This chapter provides a step by step explanation of configuration of the Bridge-

Way Ethernet to DeviceNet Gateway. It is intended to be used as a beginner’s

guide to configuring and using the BridgeWay using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet

or NetTool-DN-D. It also demonstrates how easy it is to create your own webpage

and upload it to the module.

DeviceNet Network Configuration

The configuration of the DeviceNet network interface involves using a DeviceNet

node commissioning tool to set the BridgeWay’s MAC ID and baud rate. The fol-

lowing sections explain how this is done using either Rockwell Software’s

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet or HMS’ NetTool-DN-D.

Note: The BridgeWay defaults to 125K baud out of the box. If your DeviceNet

network is not running at 125K baud, the BridgeWay must be powered up on a

local network with the node commissioning tool at 125K baud. Do not attempt to

commission the BridgeWay on a network configured at a different baud rate.

Node Commissioning with BWConfig

See “DeviceNet I/O Configuration” on page 3-17 for an explanation of the

DeviceNet configuration parameters and how they are set using BWConfig.

If BWConfig is used for DeviceNet node commissioning, skip to DeviceNet I/O

Configuration below.
