Table 2. DeviceNet Board Detail Screen Items
ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
Board |
This displays the number of the selected daughterboard. |
Status |
This displays the status of the selected daughterboard: ONLINE, OFFLINE, ERROR. |
Scanner Type |
The model of scanner represented by this daughterboard. Currently four kinds are supported: SST 5136-DN, SST 5136-DNP, SST 5136-DN3, and slave only. |
Motherboard |
The type of motherboard used with the daughterboard. Currently there are two kinds: "full-slot" and "wide-mini." |
MAC-Id |
This is the Media Access Control ID used by the daughterboard. It must have a value of from 0 to 63. The MAC-Id must be different from the MAC-Ids of all other devices on the network. |
Baud Rate |
This specifies the data rate used in transfers between the DeviceNet Interface board and the devices on the network. Specify one of the following baud rates:
|
Board Auto-restart |
When this is set to ON, the board will automatically restart communication with the DeviceNet network after a board or network error has occurred and the error situation has been resolved. Setting this value to OFF turns off board auto-restart. The default value is OFF. |
Input resume state |
The two valid values for this setting are LAST and ZERO, and this setting affects all input I/O ports (digital, analog, group, and so forth) which have an assigned rack value equal to the board's rack number. When the input resume state is set to LAST, these input ports will retain their last known values if the port goes offline. When the input resume state is set to ZERO, the port values are set to zero. The default value is ZERO. |
Slave Status |
Slave status indicates the status of the slave connection of this DeviceNet board. If the slave connection is not enabled (if size of output from master and size of input to master are 0), this field displays OFFLINE. If it is enabled and the remote master has not yet connected, this field indicates IDLE and error DNET-125 is posted. If the remote master is connected, this field displays ONLINE. This field is display only. |
Slave Error Severity |
This sets the error severity level of the error DNET-125 that indicates the slave connection is idle. Select WARN, STOP or PAUSE as required. |
Slave Operation: Size of output from master |
For slave operation, in which the controller acts as a slave to an external master, this specifies the size of the output from the master to the daughterboard, in bytes.. |
Slave Operation: Size of input to master |
For slave operation, in which the controller acts a slave to an external master, this specifies the size of the input to the master from the daughterboard, in bytes.. |

Table 4. Device List Screen Items
ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
Board Number and Status |
This item displays the number of the DeviceNet Interface daughterboard to which the device is connected and the current status of the daughterboard (ONLINE, OFFLINE, or ERROR). |
Device Name |
This item displays the name of the DeviceNet device. You select a device name from a list of pre-defined devices when you press F4, [CHOICE]. If the device you want is not on the list, you must define a new device in order to use it. **************** indicates that no device is configured or present with the associated MAC ID. This value appears by default when a new device-list entry has been added. If the Device List screen is exited before an actual device is selected, the corresponding line is deleted. |
Description |
This item can be used to indicate the usage or physical location of the device. Use the description to distinguish among several devices of the same type and device name on the same network. |
Stat |
This item displays the current status of the device.
CautionA board fault might cause a device to appear to be ON even when there is no communication. The board status (displayed at the top of the screen) will show ERROR if this situation exists. Clearing the board fault or board error and bringing the board on-line will also resume communication with the device. Refer to the troubleshooting information in the DeviceNet Setup and Operations Manual for more information.
|
MAC |
This item specifies the MAC ID for the device. This is also the slot number to be used in specifying ports on this device in the I/O CONFIG screens. |
Table 5. Device List Alternative Display Screen - Additional Items
ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
Mode |
This item indicates the current DeviceNet I/O mode of the device. A device can communicate with a DeviceNet network using one of six modes:
|
Int (msec) |
This item indicates the interval (multiple of 5 msec) at which the slave is scanned by the master. |
AR |
This item indicates the autoreconnect status of the device. If the device is set to autoreconnect (indicated by a 'Y' in this column), the board will automatically re-establish communications with the device after a device error is resolved. An 'N' in this column indicates the device is not set to autoreconnect. For Version 7.10, any device errors which occur with this device will result in a WARN-severity error posted (DNET-122) instead of a STOP-severity error (DNET-063) when autoreconnect is enabled. For Version 7.20, no alarm is posted for a device while autoreconnect is enabled, and the STOP-severity DNET-063 is still posted when autoreconnect is disabled. |
EM |
This field is currently unused. |
QC |
This item indicates Quick Connect (QC) status of the device. Enable QC if the following conditions are met:

Comment |
This item is an area in which you can provide additional information to describe the DeviceNet device. |
Vendor Id default: *** (undefined) |
This item is the vendor ID value expected from the device. This value is compared with the corresponding data sent by the devices. If the value is zero, any value received from a device can be accepted. If the value of the received data does not match the value on the screen, the device is put in an ERR state. Any device with an undefined (***) Vendor-Id value is not available for use. |

This item is the device type value expected from the device. This value is compared with the corresponding data sent by the devices. If the value is zero, any value received from a device can be accepted. If the value of the received data does not match the value on the screen, the device is put in an ERR state. Any device with an undefined (***) Device Type value is not available for use. |
Product Code line feed default: *** (undefined) |
This item is the product code value expected from the device. This value is compared with the corresponding data sent by the devices. If the value is zero, any value received from a device can be accepted. If the value of the received data does not match the value on the screen, the device is put in an ERR state. Any device with an undefined (***) Product Code value is not available for use. |
I/O Mode |
This item indicates which mode to use for the I/O connection that is supported by the slave device. |
Digital Inputs default: 0 min: 0 max: 1024 |
This item is the number of digital input points (rounded up to the nearest multiple of 8). |

This item indicates if the analog points appear before the digital points. |
Input Data Offset default: 0 min: 0 max: (number of digital input BYTES – 1) |
This item specifies how many bytes of digital input to skip before copying the data from the remote device. This can be used to skip status bytes in the beginning of a message so that data starts with a "start point" of 1. This value cannot be greater than the total number of digital inputs and should be selected so that it leaves at least 8 digital input points (1 byte) to be copied. The value will be automatically adjusted if it is greater than the bounds described. |
