Observe the following precautions when using the Configurator.
• The only DeviceNet masters that can be handled by the Configurator are
OMRON's CS1W-DRM21,
C200HW-DRM21-V1.
• When a dedicated Board or Card is used, the Configurator is connected
to the DeviceNet network as a single node. The Configurator cannot be
connected to the network unless a node address is available. No node
address is required if the Configurator is connected via Ethernet or a
serial communications port.
• Do not use the Configurator in a location with too much electromagnetic
noise. 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.
• Use the PCMCIA Card Unit on a level surface, as shown in the following
diagram.
• Do not bend or pull the cable that connects the PCMCIA Card and the
PCMCIA Card Unit.
• The PCMCIA Card is a portable peripheral device. Do not leave it con-
nected to the network.
• Attaching ferrite cores between the PCMCIA Card and the PCMCIA Card
Unit can reduce noise from the network.
