(5)  Slaves already searched, and the DeviceNet communication has been opened. The node number, product name, manufacturer, and I/O data size can be checked from the scan list information. Major information displayed on the scan list are as follows.

 

n Node: DeviceNet Node No. (MAC ID)

n ProductName: product name

n Vendor: manufacturer ID

n Osize: size of output data (Bytes)

n Isize: size of input data (Bytes)

n State: DeviceNet state (42: DeviceNet IO Connection normal)

n St.Cnt: number of accumulated state change

n Type: Device Type

n Code: Device Code

n Rev: product version (Revision Number)

n Serial Nr.: slave serial number (serial number)

n Ex#1~#16: extension IO information of the slave node (only some products will be supported)

(6)  Click the “[F2]: GetSet” button to perform an Explicit message communication with a specific node.

 

Type the number in the dialog box or click [Enter] in the combo box to enter an Explicit message request information, such as MAC ID, Service, or Class, and then click the Send button.

 

The following Response message will be shown at the bottom when message communication is performed normally.

(7)   The Embedded DeviceNet master network configuration (scan list) can be edited manually. Slaves can be added or deleted manually from the scan list, and the size of specific slave I/O data can be changed.

 

Edit the DeviceNet network configuration according to the next procedure.

 

①    Click the embedded DeviceNet master information and the “Edit Node” button in the setting screen.

 

 

 

Figure 4.6 Edit Node

 

 

※    The node editing function is supported by controller SW version V40.06-00 or more.

 

 

②    Enter the node number, node input data size, and node output data size in the Node Edit dialog box, and then click the “Add/Edit” button to add a node.

 

If the node that is already in the scan list is added, then the size of the corresponding I/O data will be changed as newly entered information.

 

Enter the node number, and then click the “Delete” button to delete the node.
