8. Commissioning with controls
8.1 Introduction The DeviceNet specification stipulates a configuration via the network used to
exchange net data. A configuration via the network is much more convenient
than an individual configuration of each individual device since a configuration
tool (e.g. RSNetWorx by Allen-Bradley) can be used for all devices. The
parameters of the individual devices can be displayed and controlledly
changed.
The configuration is made using an electronic data sheet (EDS file = Elec-
tronic Data Sheet, available at www.auma.com).
8.2 Functions of the AUMATIC with DeviceNet
The DeviceNet interface of the AUMATIC supports the following DeviceNet
functions:
.
Group 2 only Server
.
Predefined Master/Slave Connection Set
- Explicit Connection
- I/O Poll Connection
- Fragmentation is supported
.
Device Heartbeat Messages
.
Device Shutdown Messages
.
Offline Connection Set
8.3 Setting of the DeviceNet interface of the AUMATIC
The DeviceNet interface must be set in accordance with the desired bus
parameters (baud rate and actuator address). For further instructions please
refer to subclause 7.10, page 20.
After the setting was changed, the AUMATIC has to be switched off for a
short time. As an alternative, you may also disconnect the 24 V DC
DeviceNet voltage supply for a short time.
8.4 Communication model DeviceNet is based on a connection based communication model. For this,
the respective instances of the connection object in the DeviceNet device
have to be installed and configured in the same way as in the AUMATIC.
