DeviceNet Gateway
8.4 Assigning the Master PLC Address by Free Assignment
Slave address assignment can be performed automatically using a DeviceNet configurator. *1
Omron’s configurator comes preinstalled with an EDS file for Omron DeviceNet products. However, this
file must be installed separately in the Gateway Unit to support IAI slave devices. Download the EDS file
from IAI’s website.

This section explains the network configuration procedure based on free assignment. For details, refer to
the operation manual for your PLC. The example given below assumes use of DeviceNet Configurator
Ver. 2.10.
* A DeviceNet configurator is a software program for building, setting and managing DeviceNet networks
using graphical screen interfaces.
8.4.1 Starting the Configurator
Before commencing the procedure, connect the PLC and PC using a dedicated RS232C cable.
• From the Start menu, point to Programs (P), point to DeviceNet Tools, and then select DeviceNet
Configurator to start the configurator.
• The initial configurator window opens as follows.
