Connection and Configuration
- DeviceNet Compatible Network Unit DL-DN1 User’s Manual (GT-70A) -
Use the following procedures to configure the data link of the DL-DN1.
 Setting the node address
Using the address setting switch, set the DeviceNet node address to be assigned to
the DL-DN1.
• Default value: 63
• Setting range: 00 to 63
When setting the node address of the DL-DN1 from the DeviceNet master unit, set it
in the range of 64 to 99. The DL-DN1 enters PGM mode.
When the DL-DN1 is set in the PGM mode and the power is turned on,
the address of the DL-DN1 is the same as used when the DL-DN1was
started previously.
When the DL-DN1, in the factory default setting, is set to PGM mode,
the node address of the DL-DN1 is 63. Do not start multiple DL-DN1
units in factory default setting in the PGM mode, as that will result in
a network error because of the duplicate node addresses.
 Selecting an operating mode
Select the desired operating mode of the DL-DN1 using the operating mode setting
switch.
The data that can be ha ndled in I/O communication varies with each operating mode.
