GT200-DN-RS Modbus/DeviceNet Gateway User Manual 4 Use Method 4.1 Quick Start Guide 1. Setting DeviceNet address manually Before connecting DeviceNet master, sets DeviceNet address by moving code switch at the gateway’s side. The range of DeviceNet effective address is 0 to 63. The calculation method of DeviceNet address is shown at chapter 3.2.2 of the document.
The data exchange between GT200-DN-RS Modbus and DeviceNet is established by “mapping”. GT200-DN-RS has two data buffers, one is DeviceNet network input buffer, and the other is DeviceNet network output buffer. Modbus read commands read the data and then write the data into input buffer for DeviceNet network reading.
GT200-DN-RS will send writing-commands, and transmit data to Modbus slave devices. If AB’s PLC is in programming mode, there will be no the network output-data. Note 3: During the configuration of GT200-DN-RS, when polling mode of output commands is set to ...
