Step 3. Creation Of The "First" Devicenet Project With Devicenet Manager - Control Techniques UD77 DeviceNet Startup Manual

Navigate to "a:". This view of the floppy files is shown; select "mentor2.bmp". Click OK.
Installation of the Control Techniques "EDS" files into DeviceNet Manager is complete.
The main frame window for DeviceNet Manager is ready for the next step.

Step 3. Creation of the "FIRST" DeviceNet Project with DeviceNet Manager

The project "FIRST" is a starting point, which defines "DEMO", a simple
DeviceNet network consisting of a single SLC5/04 processor, a 1747-SDN
scanner, a 1770-KFD serial interface, and two Unidrive(s) each fitted with a
UD77 DeviceNet Interface with co-processor.
The setup and validation strategy is to create the project, get the DeviceNet
Scanner and DeviceNet Interface communicating at the default data rate without
any of the Unidrive(s) present on the network, and then power up, configure, and
add the Unidrive(s) to a working network.
Note that this guide shows use of a Scanner MAD-ID of "63" (default), and a
network data rate of 125Kbits/sec (default). This guide describes configuring the
Unidrives for a MAC-ID of "1" and "2". Configuration at different MAC-ID(s) and
different network data rats is covered in the Control Techniques application note
"Allen Bradley SLC500 PLC with DeviceNet".
Before starting, close DeviceNet Manager and then re-start DeviceNet Manager. This
forces DeviceNet Manager to read its *.ini(s) and properly initialize details such as the
program data paths that will be used.
