Commission All Nodes
If you have not specifically set the node address and communication
rate of your devices using hardware switches, you will need to
commission each device using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
Before you can use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet’s Node Commissioning
tool, your computer and your DeviceNet devices must be connected
to the DeviceNet network.
Use the Node Commissioning tool in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software to set the node address and/or communication rate of the
SmartGuard controller and other DeviceNet devices.
