internal logic for as many as eight I/O modules
I/O modules contain the bus interface and circuitry needed to

•

perform specific functions related to your application. These I/O
modules include:

– Input modules, 1798-IB4 or -IB8, -IB4D, and -IE4
– Output modules, 1798-OB4E or -OB8E, and OE2

DeviceNet Adapter Components

Power Requirements

The adapter module consists of the following major components:

diagnostic indicators

•

node address switch

•

Diagnostic Indicators

Diagnostic indicators are located on the front panel of the adapter
module. They show both normal operation and error conditions in
your remote I/O system. The indicators are:

• Mod/Net status

• I/O status

A complete description of the diagnostic indicators and how to use
them for troubleshooting is explained in Chapter 4.

The FlexArmor system requires a current of 400 mA at 24V dc from
the 1798-FTP sensor power connector for FLEX bus operation. This is
sufficient to support up to 8 modules. Remember to add this amount
to current requirements for other modules using the same 24V supply.
The FlexArmor system consumed 90 mA of DeviceNet power.

1-4 Install Your DeviceNet Adapter Module

Set the Network Address Switch on the DeviceNet Adapter

Valid node addresses are 00 to 63.

Set the network address using the rotary switches. The setting of the
network address cannot be changed using the DeviceNet
configuration software.

Each module is shipped set for node address 63. The switches are
located on the underside of the module. The two switches are:

MSD (most significant digit)

•

LSD (least significant digit)

•

To reset the node address, use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the
switches. Line up the small black dot on the switch with the number
setting you wish to use.

MSD

Install Your FlexArmor DeviceNet Adapter Module

Switches are
shown in the
63 position.

IMPORTANT

To install the FlexArmor DeviceNet Adapter Module:

1. Hold the adapter at an angle and engage the top of the adapter

in the indention on the rear of the Baseplate.

IMPORTANT

2. Press the module down flush with the panel until the locking

lever locks.

The baud rate for the adapter is set by way of “baud
detection” (Autobaud) at power up.

The adapter module must be installed only in the
adapter slot, next to the FTP.

In this chapter, you will learn about:

communication over the FlexArmor backplane (between the

•

DeviceNet adapter and the I/O modules)
how data is mapped into the I/O image table

•

One 1798-ADN DeviceNet adapter can interface with up to eight
FlexArmor I/O modules placed in a FlexArmor baseplate. The adapter
communicates to other network system components (typically one or
more controllers or scanners, and/or programming terminals) over the
DeviceNet network. The adapter communicates with its I/O modules

over the backplane.

The I/O map for a module is divided into read words and write
words. Read words consist of input and status words and write words
consist of output and configuration words. The number of read words

or write words can be zero or more. The length of each I/O module’s
read words and write words varies in size depending on module
complexity. Each I/O module will support at least 1 input word or 1
output word. Status and configuration are optional, depending on the
module.

2-2 How Communication Takes Place and I/O Image Table Mapping

For example, a 4 point discrete input module will have up to 2 read
words and 1 write word.

About I/O Structure

4-point Discrete Input Module

Check the I/O map for each module for the exact mapping.

Output data is received by the adapter in the order of the installed I/O
modules. The Output data for slot 0 is received first, followed by the
Output data for slot 1, and so on up to slot 7.

The first word of input data sent by the adapter is the Adapter Status
Word. This is followed by the input data from each slot, in the order
of the installed I/O modules. The Input data from slot 0 is first after
the status word, following by Input data from slot 2, and so on up to
slot 7.

2-4 How Communication Takes Place and I/O Image Table Mapping

Possible causes for an I/O Module Fault are:

transmission errors on the FlexArmor backplane

•

a failed module

•

a module removed from the FlexArmor Baseplate

•

incorrect module inserted in a slot position

•

the slot is empty, but the platform is configured for a module in

•

the slot location

Communication Choices

The FlexArmor DeviceNet adapter module supports multiple
communication choices. These choices all use the default I/O
structure previously described. The adapter master makes the actual
communication choice. The choices are:

Polled - data is sent by the adapter in response to received data

Strobe - data is sent by the adapter in response to the strobe

command. The single bit allocated to the adapter in the strobe
message is not used. If the configured size of the input data (sent from
the adapter) is greater than 8 bytes, the strobe connection
establishment will fail. In this case, the input size must be
re-configured to 8 bytes or less.

Change of State - data is sent by the adapter based on detection of
any changed value within the input data. Data is independently
received based on change of state from the sender. Data in both
directions can be acknowledged or unacknowledged depending on
the run time configuration of the system.

Cyclic - data is sent cyclically by the adapter based on a configured
time value. Data is independently received cyclically from the sender.
Data in both directions can be acknowledged or unacknowledged
depending on the run time configuration of the system.

Chapter Objectives

In this chapter, you will learn how to use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software to configure the adapter. You will:

learn briefly about RSNetWorx for DeviceNet

•

configure your FlexArmor adapter and system online

•

map the scanner

•

Configure Your Adapter’s FlexArmor System

Configure your FlexArmor system by specifying the FlexArmor
module that will reside in each slot. Remember, slot 0 is the closet slot
to the adapter and slot 7 is the farthest or last slot.

About RSNetWorx for DeviceNet

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is the software tool used to configure your
FlexArmor DeviceNet adapter and its related modules. This software
tool can be connected to the adapter via the DeviceNet network.

In this chapter, we assume that you have established a network, and
are adding a FlexArmor Adapter to your network.

If you are working off line, drag and drop the devices from the
hardware list onto the graph.

IMPORTANT

You will be able to perform most of the functions
discussed in this section while working off line but
you must be on line to perform all of the functions
discussed in this chapter.

Configure the Adapter

You can determine the adapter configuration and system configuration
for an adapter at a specific node address. The node address is
assigned at the adapter (using the rotary switch) and in the adapter
configuration screen.

IMPORTANT

If addressing the adapter in the adapter configuration
screen, the address must agree with the physical
address of the rotary switches on the adapter.

To access the adapter configuration screen, double-click the
FlexArmor adapter icon.

You see the adapter configuration screen.

If configuring the adapter off line,
set this address to match the Node
Address switches on the 1798-ADN.
