Use the DeviceNet Test Application for 1784-PCIDS Diagnostics
Start the Test Application
The test application is automatically installed as part of the driver installation
procedure, although it does not show up as a shortcut on your screen.
To start the test application, click Start ⇒Programs ⇒Rockwell Software
⇒IOLinx ⇒IOLinx for DeviceNet ⇒DeviceNet Test.
The test application assumes that you have the card installed, the network is
powered, and a scan list is loaded into the 1784-PCIDS using RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet V2.11.51 or later. If the driver cannot establish communication with the
module, an error message is displayed.
Configure the Port
You must configure the port the first time you use a PCIDS card.
To configure the port, follow these steps:
1. Select Configure Port... from the Setup menu.
2. Select Allen-Bradley 1784-PCIDS from the DeviceNet Driver Selection
dialog.
3. Click on OK.
4. Set Node Address (0 - 63).
5. Set Baud Rate (125/250/500 kbs).
6. Click OK. You see a dialog box that says Operation was successful followed
by a similar message box that tells you that Port "DeviceNet Port A" has
been configured.
