Control Techniques UD77 DeviceNet Startup Manual page 3

Unidrive (or Mentor 2 or Quantum 3) fitted with a DeviceNet Interface. The link is a DeviceNet
fieldbus.
In the context of modern "smart" and "programmable" Motor Drives, such as the Unidrive, the
default configuration provided serves as the standard product design. The use of the default
DeviceNet configuration files is illustrated in this guide, as is the configuration and establishment
of the default cyclic links between the 1747-SDN Scanner and the Unidrives.
DeviceNet Manager (and RSLogix500 as well) is organized around the concept of a "project".
In this sense, a "project" functions as a "container" for the various files and data structures
created (or needed) by the program during the specification and configuration of one or more
related DeviceNet networks.
This start up guide is organized as a series of blocks that take the reader through the required
concepts and tasks for installation of the hardware and software and for creation of a DeviceNet
project. References to other materials for guidance about tasks not covered here are provided
at the end of the document.
