Node Commissioning with RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
Step 1: Connect the module to your DeviceNet network.
• Make sure a PC running RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is connected to the
DeviceNet network.
• With the Anybus-X un-powered, connect the DeviceNet network cable to
the DeviceNet connector of the module. (See “Connecting DeviceNet” on
page 2-4)
• Power up the Anybus-X.
Step 2: Locate the module is on the network.
• RSNetWorx allows browsing on the network to identify devices.
• Select the Network menu option and pull down menu.
• Select the Single Pass Browse option and wait for browsing to complete.
If this is the first time RSNetWorx has been used with a Anybus-X, the
Anybus-X’s icon should indicate “Unrecognizable Device”.
Step 3: Register the Anybus-X EDS file in RSNetWorx.
RSNetWorx requires an electronic data sheet (EDS) to recognize a device and its
capabilities. An EDS file is available on the HMS Industrial Networks web site.
The EDS file must be registered with RSNetWorx before configuration can con-
tinue.
• Select the Tools menu option and pull down menu.
• Select the EDS Wizard option.
• Click on Next.
• Select Register an EDS File option and click Next.
• Select Register a Single File and enter, or browse to, the location of the
EDS file for Anybus-X.
• Click Next or Finish for the remaining option screens.
• Select the Single Pass Browse option and wait for browsing to complete.
Now an icon identifying the device as the Anybus-X module should
appear.
