Configuring the DeviceNet Software
Adding the Gateway to the Scan List
Adding the gateway to a scan list requires that the data area is sized correctly and
mapped to the correct locations.
To add the gateway to the scan list:
1 Set all dip switches as described in the “DeviceNet communications section,
entitled Using the DeviceNet communication dip switch settings”.
2 Go online with the device on the network and set the parameters described
in the “DeviceNet communications section, entitled Configuring the
DeviceNet software, EDS File Parameter List Configuration Options”.
3 Once the parameters are set, download the parameters to the gateway
using the “Apply” button.

NOTE: When this field is modified the change must be applied. The size of the data
block being retrieved (see parameter 7) will change based on the configuration of this
parameter.
