Note 1. Master device parameters used in a scan list are created with either of the
following methods.
a) Using the Parameter Wizard
b) Setting all parameters
2. Connect only one Configurator to each Network.
3. Do not use the Configurator in a location with too much electromagnetic
noise, particularly when using a PCMCIA Card. If noise is too extreme, the
computer may run out-of-control, although there will be no negative effects
on the DeviceNet network even if noise causes the computer to run out-of-
control.
4. The only DeviceNet masters that can be handled by the Configurator are
OMRON's CS1W-DRM21(-V1), CJ1W-DRM21, CVM1-DRM21-V1, and
C200HW-DRM21-V1.
