Node Commissioning with RSNetWorx for DeviceNet

Step 1: Connect the module to your DeviceNet network.

• Make sure a PC running RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is connected to the

DeviceNet network.

• With the BridgeWay un-powered, connect the DeviceNet network cable

to the DeviceNet connector of the module. (See “Connecting DeviceNet”

on page 2-4)

• Power up the BridgeWay.

Step 2: Locate the module on the network.

• RSNetWorx allows browsing on the network to identify devices.

• Select the Network menu option and pull down menu.

• Select the Single Pass Browse option and wait for browsing to complete.

If this is the first time RSNetWorx has been used with a BridgeWay, the

BridgeWay’s icon should indicate “Unrecognizable Device”.

Step 3: Register the BridgeWay EDS file in RSNetWorx.

RSNetWorx 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 RSNetWorx before configuration can continue.

• Select the Tools menu option and pull down menu.

• Select the EDS Wizard option.

• Click on Next.

• Select Register an EDS File option and click Next.

• Select Register a Single File and enter, or browse to, the location of the

EDS file for BridgeWay.

• Click Next or Finish for the remaining option screens.

• Select the Single Pass Browse option and wait for browsing to complete.

Now an icon identifying the device as the BridgeWay module should

appear.
