Notes: To apply the mode switching, please restart the gateway. When the GT200-MT-DN works as DeviceNet salve, after finishing configuration, it’s recommended to set the switch to 1-ON 2-OFF, which is the configuration mode that configuration in operation mode. 2.4 Interface 2.4.1 DeviceNet Interface...
Power on the module and it will enter the running state. 4.2 Communication Debugging The default configuration of GT200-MT-DN is DeviceNet master mode, the DIP switches are all OFF, and the default IP address is 192.168.0.X. Users can change the operating mode according to the actual application.
5 DNetStart Software Instructions 5.1 Notes Before Configuration When the DIP of GT200-MT-DN is "1ON 2OFF", the gateway is in operation mode, and the I/O parameters of the slave devices on the DeviceNet network can be configured through DNetStart software.

DNetStart software needs to be used together with the DeviceNet master module. First, connect GT200-MT-DN to Ethernet, and then connect GT200-MT-DN's DeviceNet port and user's DeviceNet device to the DeviceNet network. Power Supply of GT200-MT-DN is 24VDC.. Power Up After correctly Connecting to Power Supply,the connection of DeviceNet network can be established by "internet connection"...
Notes: the interface settings configuration, "IP address" is the IP of the device selected at the time of search. "DeviceNet Node Address" is the Address of DeviceNet Master Module. Set any value between 0 and 63, which can't conflict with other node addresses on the bus. "DeviceNet baud rate" is the baud rate of DeviceNet master module, 125K, 250K, 500K optional.

The scanned device is displayed in the main window, as shown in the figure below: After the DeviceNet network is connected, the user can "Disconnect the network" through the toolbar button, as WWW.SSTCOMM.COM...
Chapter 5.5 of this manual, "Device ID" displays the information of the device manufacturer, type, device, sort and version. If you choose to configure GT200-MT-DN, after setting all the parameters, you can click the "Apply" button to download.
Page 23
In the "Scan List" option interface, users can select devices to add to the "Scan List" of the master and set its I/O parameters: WWW.SSTCOMM.COM...
Page 24
"Edit I / O parameters". This interface sets the number of input and output bytes of the slave: Notes: If the I/O parameters of the node have been saved in GT200-MT-DN, the scanned I/O parameters are the saved I/O parameters.
Page 25
If users need to map manually, they can also click the "Advanced" button to set the starting address in the dialog box shown below. In the advanced Settings interface, the user can also set the byte exchange mode of this slave device.There are three types of byte exchange: no-exchange, two-byte exchange, and four-byte exchange.
Page 26
If you need to set the unit that maps the starting address in "advanced I/O mapping Settings", click "option" button to set it. As shown in the figure below, "Byte Align" means in one byte and "Word Align" means in two bytes: WWW.SSTCOMM.COM...

In the "Modbus TCP parameter " interface, if the users want to set the Modbus TCP parameters of GT200-MT-DN, it needs to be set in offline mode. Modbus TCP parameters cannot be modified in the online mode. In the "DeviceNet parameter" interface, users can set DeviceNet parameters. "Input Data Hold/clear" means whether the corresponding DeviceNet input data is cleared when the number of DeviceNet command response errors reaches the number of DeviceNet command retransmissions.

6 Working Principle 6.1 Data Exchange GT200-MT-DN has two data buffers, one is sending buffer. the other is receiving buffer. 6.2 Terminating Resistor In the case of high baud rate (1M, 500k), the CAN network needs to connect a 120Ω terminal resistor at the two farthest ends of the network.
(DeviceNet Slave) 7.1 I/O Configuration The configuration instructions in AB PLC when GT200-MT-DN is used as a DeviceNet slave. I/O input: DeviceNet I/O input bytes can be configured as 8, 16, 32, 48, 64, 72, 96, 112, 160, 192, 224 bytes.
