Programming Over DeviceNet
Computer with DNI
The DNI provides the ability to upload/download/monitor the ladder logic
program of controllers connected to a DNI on the network. To accomplish
this:
1.
Connect a commissioned DNI to the RS-232 port on a computer (as
shown under Local Access to DeviceNet on page 3-5).
2.
Set the communications in the configuration software to DF1 Full
Duplex.
3.
Select the DeviceNet address of the destination DNI. You can now
upload/download/monitor over the network. The functionality over the
network is determined by the destination device.
Example:
If the destination device is a MicroLogix 1000 controller, you cannot
perform on-line editing. If the destination device is an SLC 5/03 or later or
PLC, you can edit on-line.
Computer on DeviceNet
To upload/download/edit controller programs directly over DeviceNet
(using a 1770-KFD, 1784-PCD, 1784-PCID or equal), you must have
RSLinx version 2.O or newer.
1.
Open RSLinx, and select Configure Drivers.
2.
Select DeviceNet Driver from the list.
3.
Click Add New.
4.
Open your configuration software and make sure it recognizes and is
configured to use RSLinx DeviceNet driver.
5.
In the configuration software’s communications section, select the
destination DNI that you want to connect to.
Important:
With a computer connected to a DNI, you cannot configure
devices on the DeviceNet network. You cannot use the DNI as a
replacement for a 1770-KFD.
