Node Commissioning with NetTool-DN
Step 1: Connect the module to your network
• Make sure a PC running NetTool-DN (version 1.0.0.1 or later) is con-
nected to the DeviceNet network via the NetTool-DN RS-232 interface
adapter.
• 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.
• Start NetTool-DN on the PC.
• NetTool-DN starts up and displays a screen prompting for a network
name. Enter a name such as “Anybus-X” to refer to the network and click
Ok. A blank screen then appears.
• Select the Tools menu item and pull down its menu selections. Select
Configure Drivers For... option.
• Highlight the name of the network and click on it. A Driver Dialog box
appears.
• Click on 7262 Serial RS232 DeviceNet Tool Adapter to highlight it and
click Ok. A screen to configure the RS-232 communications between the
Adapter and the PC appears.
• Select the PC serial port being used to connect to the NetTool-DN RS-232
adapter.
• Set the DeviceNet baud rate to125K baud. Set the MAC ID to a value that
will not conflict with devices already on the network. (including the Any-
bus-X)
• Click Go Online. A confirmation message indicating that the adapter has
gone online should appear. Click Ok.
• NetTool-DN should now display a network screen with the icons for the
devices it finds on the DeviceNet network. If this is the first time that Net-
Tool-DN has been used with a Anybus-X, the Anybus-X’s icon will indi-
cate “No EDS file registers for this device”.
Step 3: Register the Anybus-X EDS file with NetTool-DN
NetTool-DN 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.
