Chapter

Configuring a Scanner to Communicate

with the Adapter

Chapter Objectives

Chapter 5 provides instructions for configuring your scanner to

communicate with either the 1203-GU6 module or 1336-GM6 board.

This allows the product connected to the adapter to be an active node

on the DeviceNet network. In this chapter, you will read about the

following:

• Equipment and software needed for the configuration.

• Configuring a PLC or SLC scanner to communicate with the

adapter.

Required Equipment and Software

Before configuring the scanner, your PC must be:

• Running RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. Refer to

http://www.software.rockwell.com for more information.

• Connected to and communicating with the DeviceNet network

using a DeviceNet interface such as a 1784-PCD card or a

1770-KFD adapter.

Example DeviceNet Network

After the adapter is configured, it and the connected product will be a

single node on the network. This chapter provides the steps that are

needed to configure a simple network like the network in Figure 5.1.
