6-1 DeviceNet Setting Procedures
This section describes the setting operations that are unique to DeviceNet networks.
Refer to Section 2 Basic Operations for operation that are the same as those for other
networks.
The following flowcharts show the overall flow of DeviceNet settings.
6-1-1 Designing Networks Offline
Prior to constructing the actual network, it can be designed and the master and slave
parameters can be set with the CX-Integrator.
The set parameters can be saved as a network configuration file. The network
configuration file contains the parameters of all of the devices on the network.
(only for the slaves that require parameter setting).
Save the settings in a CX-Integrator project file (.cin).

Downloading Saved Parameters

The parameters for all of the devices on the network can be set (downloaded) from a
network configuration file saved in advance.
