DeviceNet network setup

8.3.1 AnyBus NetTool for DeviceNet

The AnyBus NetTool for DeviceNet is a Configuration Tool that allows configuration and maintenance
of your DeviceNet Network. Setup functions include full Scanner configuration and DeviceNet slave
configuration. The AnyBus NetTool-DN lets users configure, manage and troubleshoot any
DeviceNet network or network component on a DeviceNet network.
The tool consists of a Windows 32-bit graphical network configuration software and a DIN rail
mountable adapter that connect a PC, via RS232, to the DeviceNet cable. The configuration tool
includes all necessary software and a hardware interface to configure, manage and troubleshoot
your DeviceNet network.
• When installed, go to the Help-menu where all necessary information/guidelines for the setup can
be found.

8.3.2 Termination

The end nodes (first and last nodes) in a DeviceNet network must be terminated to avoid reflections
on the bus line.
• Attach a terminating resistor equal to 121 ohms, 1 %, 1/4W or greater wattage, to each end of the
trunk cable. The resistors are connected across the CAN_H and CAN_L lines (Blue and white
wires of the DeviceNet cable).
Caution
If you do not use terminating resistors as described, the DeviceNet cable system will NOT
operate properly.

8.3.3 Nodes

All nodes have to be, by hardware, setup according to the configuration defined in the software. The
kind of setting device is varying, depending on which manufacturer used.

8.3.4 Configuration online

The network configuration have to be scanned and downloaded to the PCI-card. Before going online
a connection must be established to the DeviceNet network. The adapter can be connected parallelly
anywhere within the fieldbus network.

8.3.5 Configuration with RSNetworx from Rockwell

RSNetworx for DeviceNet form Rockwell can be used instead of AnyBus NetTool for configuring the
DeviceNet network. RSNetWorx does not presently show parameters for the masters why the
information below may be helpful in order to get the HMS DeviceNet scanner in "idle"-mode, where it
can receive configuration.
Use "Class / Instance Editor" and right-click the node, so the editor going to choose. It is a kind of
dialogue that allows the user to send an (almost) arbitrarily CIP command with arbitrary data to a
node on the network, usually it is used to read / write settings of a slave, but it can be used for other
things as well.
A "SetAttributeSingle" has to be send to Class 0x01, Instance 0x01 and Attribute 0x67. The data
must be either "0" or "1" depending on whether the master should be set to "Run" or "Idle".
