4. Activating and configuring DeviceNet
The inserted DeviceNet module will be recognized automatically when the motor controller
is switched on.
A clear MAC-ID must be assigned to each device in the network.
4.1 Setting the MAC-ID
The MAC-ID is set in the FCT program in the window Operation Parameters:
The baud rate and the MAC-ID are set in this window.
4.2 Setting the baud rate
The baud rate is also set in the FCT program in the window Operation Parameters.
The possible baud rate depends on the cable used, the cable length and the capabilitty of
the higher-order controller. If the DeviceNet is still active, the selected baud rate may differ
from the baud rate actually used. The actual baud rate is therefore displayed in the
commissioning tool.
When the MAC-ID und the baud rate have been set, the DeviceNet communication can be
activated. Please note that the above mentioned parameters can only be modified when
the protocol is deactivated. All parameters are only valid when the DeviceNet
communication is deactivated and then re-activated.
Please note that the DeviceNet communication can only be activated when the parameter
records have been saved and a Reset has been carried out.
