What is DeviceNet?
This chapter describes what you must know and do before you begin
to use your Starter Kit. The following table describes what this chapter
contains and where to find specific information.

DeviceNet is a low-end, open network that provides connections
between simple, primarily discrete industrial devices and controllers.
The connections can exist without the need of intervening I/O
modules or blocks.
The DeviceNet network provides an alternative way for control
engineers to connect simple devices to their control systems. The
DeviceNet network:
• supports devices that are becoming more intelligent
• facilitates increasingly precise troubleshooting that reduces
down-time, for example, a communication fault can be traced to
a single device rather than to the rack or block level as with an
I/O network
• reduces installation and startup costs and time
(compared to traditional I/O wiring, especially when devices are
spread over long distances)

1. Lay the cable in the hinged base. Pay attention to the keyed
profile. The unkeyed edge is closer to the hinge; the keyed edge
is toward the latch.
IMPORTANT
Prior to closing the connector, be certain that the IDC
blades do not protrude from th e housing. If t he blades are
exposed, gently push them back into the base. In the
event that the blades do not retract easily (or retract only
partially), verify that the IDC screws are not partially
driven.

Follow these instructions to install the ArmorBlock MaXum base onto the
KwikLink medi a. Refer to ins tallation instructions that c ome with the
MaXum Base for additional information.
Mount the Cable Base
For the Starter Kit example you do not need to mount the base. The
KwikLink media system will remain as a moveable table top object.
The section “Mount the Cable Base” for the Starter Kit application is
for informational purposes only.
You can mount the cable base either vertically or horizontally. Cable bases
accommodate either 4 or 8 po int Armor Block MaXum modu les. Additiona l

Some network installations may subject the cables to a great deal of
flex. In this case, we recommend that you clamp the flat media cable
at a specific distance from the base. Refer to publication, DN-6.7.2,
DeviceNet Cable Planning and Installation Manual for more
information.
Prepare the Flat Media Cables
For the Starter Kit example, you only use the cable through the
network seat. The power seat will not be used. The power seat is
used to power the network and output devices. You cannot draw
power from the network to power output devices such as motors.
Publication DNET-UM003A-EN-P - August 2000

2-10 Construct Your Starter Kit
They need to have another 24v power source. The Starter Kit power
will come from the open style tap connected to your power supply.
IMPORTANT
For the Starter Kits, you will not be using the power
option for the AmorBlock MaXum I /O. Install the caps to
seal the power opening.
IMPORTANT
Because the Starter Kit is a simple application, you
are going to power an output, such as the
CompactBlock off the DeviceNet Network. In a real
world application you would not do this. You would
use the power cable from the ArmorBlock MaXum to
power your outputs. Refer to Appendix B in
publication DN- 6.7.2, DeviceNet Cable Planning and
Installation Manual for more information.
The 1792D-CBFM cable base using a KwikLink flat media system
accommodates the following cable routings while maintaining full
IP67 sealing integrity. Determine if your network system will pass
through or end at this cable base. These options are available:
• DeviceNet and Auxiliary Power cables both pass through the
base.
• DeviceNet cable only passes through the base.
• DeviceNet passes through, and Auxiliary Power ends at this
base.
• Both DeviceNet and Auxiliary Power end at this base.
Publication DNET-UM003A-EN-P - August 2000
IMPORTANT
If you place the ArmorBlock at the end of a cable
run, you must apply end caps to cables that end at
the base prior to installation. The caps seal the
cables. The cable, with the end cap applied, must
end between the two lines on the cable base as
shown below. When Auxiliary Power is not used,
seal both openings to the power slot.

If a power cable
is not used, seal
the cable slots.
Place the two
end caps in the
slots to seal
them.
End cap
The cable must end between these two lines. The clear
end cap allows you to see the cable position.
Apply End cap before
you install cable.
30827-M
Attach the Flat Media Cables
The KwikLink DeviceNet flat media cable is a four-conductor cable.
It has a key design feature that allows it to “seat” in the cable base in
only one direction. Labels indicate which slot to use for the Auxiliary
Power and DeviceNet connection.
Follow these steps to attach the flat media cable:
1. Remove the end cap
covers from the storage
area. These are used to
cover the cables when
they end.
End cap storage
(2 caps are provided)
2. Apply an end cap to
cables that end at this
point in your network. End
caps cannot be applied
after the cables are
attached to the base.
POWER
NETWORK
3. Align the key features of
the cable and base. The cable
and cable slots are angled.
The cables can only be
placed in one direction.
4. Modules with outputs
require an Auxiliary Power
cable. If the module you use
has outputs, snap the black
power cable into the slot
labeled POWER. (not
applicable to the Starter Kits)
5. Snap the gray
DeviceNet cable into
the slot labeled
NETWORK.
POWER and NETWORK labels indicate Auxiliary
Power and DeviceNet cable placement.

Attach the Seal Block
The seal block contains the contacts that pierce the cable. Contact
occurs when you attach the seal block to the cable base. The seal
block is designed to attach to the base in only one direction.
ATTENTION
!
To install the seal block:
The seal block has extremely sharp contacts. Do not
press against them with your fingers. You may be
injured.
Be certain to properly align the seal block when you
attach it to the base. This will maintain the integrity
of the sealed base. You can only pierce the cable
once. Once pierced, the seal block must not be
removed. This will ensure the inner conductors are
not exposed.
Avoid injury.
Pierce
contacts are
extremely
sharp.
Only one attempt to pierce the
cable is allowed.

1. Position the seal block over the cable base.
a. Match the arrows on the bottom of the base and seal block.
b. Align the four captive screws in the seal block with the
receptacles in the base.
2. Tighten the screws with a torque of 8 to10 inch-pounds to
secure the module to the base. To assure that the cable is
pierced evenly, tighten each screw a little at a time.
IMPORTANT
There are 3 seat lines on the sides of the seal block,
under the captive screws. As the screws are
tightened these lines meet the cable base. At this
point the seal block is fully seated

Ground Your Network
You only need to ground a flat media DeviceNet network at one
location. Follow the guidelines below:
• Ground the V- conductor
at one place.
• Make this ground connection with a 25 mm (1 in.) copper braid
or a #8 AWG wire up to a maximum 3m (10 ft) in length.
• Use the same ground for the V- conductor of the cable system
and the chassis ground of the power supply. Do this at the
power supply.

The scanner is the DeviceNet master (controller interface)
coordinating all control data to and from all devices on the DeviceNet
network. This DeviceNet data is transferred between:
• the SLC-500 and 1747-SDN via M1/M0 and discrete I/O transfers
• PLC-5 and 1771-SDN via block transfers and discrete I/O
transfers
• PCIDS and logic engine (such as SoftLogix 5 or your own
application) via I/O Linx driver running in the NT kernel
This data is then used in the ladder logic program to do the actual
control logic.

Set Node Address Switches for Channel 1
You must set the node address for the 1771-SDN before you install the
scanner and go online. To set the I/O chassis addressing node
switches:
1. Locate the switch bank labeled “Channel 1” on the left side of
the module.
The address range is from 0 to 63. It will be set to 63 from the
factory as shown in the illustration. All autobaud devices are
internally set to node 63. The node address for DeviceNet
Channel 1 must not conflict with the node address of any other
device on the network. For this demonstration, you want to set
the address to 0.
2. Use a ball point pen or a similar object to adjust switches 3
through 8 to match the illustration. All of the switches should be
in the off, in the 0 position.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a lead pencil because the tip can break
off and jam or short out the switch.
Install Your Scanner
IMPORTANT
After you set the dip switches and with the chassis power off, insert
the 1771-SDN scanner into slot 2 of your PLC-5 processor chassis.
IMPORTANT
Be certain to turn the power to your chassis off
before inserting your scanner.
Refer to installation instructions that come with your

What This Chapter Contains
What is Node Commissioning?
Read this chapter to connect the devices for your Starter Kit and
perform node commissioning on the devices. The following table
describes what this chapter contains and where to find specific
information.

see what your network should look like in RSNetWorx 3-35
Before you can add any device to a DeviceNet network, it must be
commissioned via hardware or software. This means that a node
address and a data rate must be programmed into the device.
3-14
Node commissioning is the process of setting the node address (0-63)
and the data rate (125k, 250k, 500k) for a device. Most devices have
their node address pre-commissioned to 63. The data rate is usually
set to 125 kbits/second. All devices on any given network MUST be at
the same baud rate. You cannot mix devices at different baud rates on
the same network.
DeviceNet requires a unique node address for each device. This
requirement protects against assigning devices with the same address
which could cause unpredictable control behavior. RSNetWorx
prevents you from assigning the same node address to devices.
1 Publication DNET-UM003A-EN-P - August 2000
Page 54
3-2 Connect Devices and Commission Nodes
The node commission process can be done via hardware (dip
switches, rotary switches, thumbwheels) or software (RSNetWorx).
Once you commission a device via hardware, you cannot overwrite
the settings via software. Many devices support “autobaud”. This
allows a device to “set itself” to the proper data rate when it is
connected to an operational DeviceNet network. This shortens the
steps you need to take when adding or replacing devices on your
network.
The Starter Kit devices are all autobaud at a rate of 125kbits/second.
The address of 63 and the data rate of 125k are programmed into the
device at the factory. Other devices will need to be commissioned in
the field. Once a device has been commissioned and attached to a
network, you are ready to go.
The Starter Kits have 7 nodes which need to be addressed as follows:
00 Scanner, scanners are required to take the lowest possible
address
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet Node Commission Tool
01-05 Devices
62 Interface, interfaces are required to take the highest
possible address. 63 is reserved for factory set devices that
have their addresses set by RSNetWorx.
The Demo Version of RSNetWorx allows up to 7 nodes to be
commissioned in a network file. This Demo version of RSNetWorx can
be converted into a full version when you purchase a full version
license from Rockwell.
One function of RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software is to provide a
way for you to assign node addresses and set data rate parameters for
devices that are either:
• connected to a DeviceNet network, or
• connected via a point-to-point connection.
RSNetWorx uses a graphical interface to build your network. Windows
navigation provides an easy way to add, delete, and configure devices
on your network. RSNetWorx (along with RSLinx communication
software) lets you quickly configure your network allowing you to
focus more on application attributes and less on hardware
configuration and compatibility.
Publication DNET-UM003A-EN-P - August 2000
Page 55
Connect Devices and Commission Nodes 3-3
RSNetWorx Communicates via RSLinx
RSNetWorx communicates to the network through RSLinx. RSNetWorx
does not have to be online (connected to an operating network) to
setup your network. You can setup your network offline and then
download the device scanlist to your scanner. The nodes are not
commissioned until you are online communicating to the network.
Device Configuration
Device configuration is the ability to set parameters in a device to
establish its behavior on a network.
You can set device parameters by:
• hardware: dip switches, rotary switches, thumbwheels
• software: RSNetWorx via Electronic Data Sheets (EDS) or custom
configuration applications
Electronic Data Sheets (EDS)
EDS files allow different devices to be added to a project offline.
These same EDS files also allow devices to be configured both online
or offline. New EDS files can be quickly and easily installed into the
RSNetWorx software for any devices, regardless of vendor, that will be
connected to your DeviceNet network.
You have all the EDS files you need for your Starter Kit. The
RSNetWorx you installed already comes with all the EDS files for
Rockwell products currently available. You can obtain new Rockwell
Automation DeviceNet device EDS files from our website:
www.ab.com/networks/EDS.

Commission Nodes
In this demonstration, you will set the node address for the Stack
Light, ArmorBlock I/O, and the CompactBlock I/O using hardware
switches. A device is considered “switchless” when it is internally set
or when the hardware is set to 99.
The Inductive Proximity Switch and RightSight Photoelectric Sensor
are internally “switchless” – their node addresses will be set using
RSNetWorx via RSLinx over the network. The CompactBlock will be
hardware set to 99. The device data rates will be automatically set by
the Autobaud feature.
TIP
The Stack Light and ArmorBlock can be “switchless”
also if you set them to 99.

When you are node commissioning, you may see a copy of a
device with a red X in either RSLinx or RSNetworx. This simply
means that RSLinx and RSNetworx can no longer find the device at
node address 63. You need to tell RSLinx not to look for that device
at node address 63. This “error” will continue to appear until you go
to RSLinx and delete the red X copy of the device from the list.

To fix the error, you would need to:
• check device connections
• re-browse your network
• close the software, re-power your network, and go online
• re-commission the devices
• if the above does not solve your problems, start the Starter Kit
process over. If that does not work, contact your Rockwell
representative.
You can use the provided file, but we recommend that you
follow the step by step instructions provided so you can gain
practical experience using the media and software.

Build the Scanlist
Chapter
4
What This Chapter Contains
Introduction
Read this chapter to configure the scanner by building the scanlist.
The following table describes what this chapter contains and where to
find specific information.
To: See page:
learn about scanlists 4-2
configure your scanner 4-3
map input devices 4-17
map output devices 4-22
With the Starter Kit, you are not required to create a scanlist and map
the device input and outputs. You can simply open the provided
network file (.dnt) for your Starter Kit and download the scanlist.
Everything is already done for you.
If you wish to create your own scanlist and map your devices to work
with the provided ladder logic, follow the steps in this chapter. If you
do not want to create your own scanlist and map the devices, open
the file, follow steps on pages 4-3 through 4-5 and go to Chapter 5.
For the Starter Kits, we first automapped all the scanlist devices, next
we made a few minor adjustments to the word allocations and made
only one change to the I/O parameters of one device. The Inductive
Proximity Switch I/O parameters have been changed from Change of
State/Cyclic to Strobed. This allows the switch to send an analog
value.
The ladder logic for each of the Starter Kits programs the devices in
exactly the same way. Although, each ladder programming tool uses
different addressing schemes and input/output filenames.

4-2 Build the Scanlist
What is a Scanlist?
Before a scanner can successfully communicate to the devices on a
DeviceNet network, it must first be configured. There are module
level parameters and also the scanlist. The scanlist contains all of the
information to tell the scanner how to communicate to the devices.
The scanner uses the information contained in the scanlist table (SLT)
to determine:
• what devices to scan
• how often to scan each device
• what memory locations in the device contain the desired input
or output data; and, the size of the data
• the number of bytes to send or transmit (Tx size)
• the number of bytes to receive (Rx size)
• how to communicate with each device (strobed, polled, change
of state, cyclic, or any valid combination of these I/O
parameters)
• where to map input data and output data so that the processor
can read and write it
• how to communicate with the processor (DIO, BTR/BTW, or
M1/M0 data transfer)
You can automatically configure most of the data by using the
automapping feature of RSNetWorx. This manual describes both
manual and automatic mapping procedures.

Configure Your Scanner
For this example we are using SKIT1. If you do not know how to map
the device inputs and outputs in relation to where your ladder logic
wants to find the devices, simply use the .dnt files provided.
We recommend using the provided files first. Get your network up
and running and then go back to the file you created and practice
mapping the inputs and outputs as outlined here.
Here’s an overview of what you need to do to configure your scanner.
1. Open the SKIT.dnt you created in Chapter 3 or the SKIT.dnt that
is provided for your Starter Kit. If you use the file provided the
scanlist and I/O mapping is already done for you.
2. Build the scanlist.
3. Edit the I/O parameters of the Inductive Proximity Switch.
4. Map the network inputs and outputs for each device.
5. Review the scanner summary window.
6. Download the software configuration to the scanner.
If You Want to Use the Pre-mapped .dnt File
If you are going to use the provided .dnt file that is already mapped,
follow these procedures:
1. Open the SKIT1.dnt (or the file for your SKIT) file. with the
scanlist already created and mapped for use with the associated
ladder logic file.
2. Click .
3. Click .
