1-6 Overview
RSNetWorx Software as a
Configuration Tool
RSNetWorx is used to configure the scanner’s slave devices. This
software tool connects to the scanner over the DeviceNet network via
an RS-232 interface (1770-KFD module) or PC Card (1784-PCD or
-PCID).
The recommended configuration software is RSNetworx for DeviceNet
(version 3.00 or higher).
This configuration tool allows you to identify all of the DeviceNet
devices and their locations in your system.
The following configuration screen map shows the RSNetWorx
screens used to configure the scanner.
For more detailed information, see:
• Chapter 4, Configuring the DeviceNet Network
• Chapter 6, Using the 1769-SDN Scanner Module with
CompactLogix Controllers
• Chapter 7, Using the 1769-SDN Scanner Module with MicroLogix
Controllers
TIP
If your RSNetWorx configuration software does not
include the required EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) file,
it is available via http://www.ab.com/networks/eds
.
Register the new EDS file using the EDS Wizard in
RSNetWorx. Access the wizard from the Tools
pull-down menu.
TIP
The controller must be in the Program mode, or the
scanner in the Idle mode (bit 0 of the Module
Command Array = 0), for the scanner to accept the
configuration information.
