Software Installation

Insert the supplied CD into the PC. The PC should automatically start the software install of the programs.

If the PC does not automatically start the soft- ware installation then you will have to manual- ly start the software installation.

Open Windows Explorer

From the software CD run "setup.exe"

The installation program will guide you through the rest of the software setup process.

DeviceNet Network Installation

For wiring the DeviceNet network to the Power Wave, see the document "DeviceNet Cabling Planning and Installation manual", Allen Bradley Publication DN-6.7.2. This doc- ument can be downloaded from the Allen Bradley web site. Connect the Power Wave to the trunk or drop using a female ‘sealed-mini’ style connector. Avoid routing the DeviceNet control cables in close proximity to the weld- ing output leads. The Power Wave has no internal DeviceNet bus termination.

Some DeviceNet scanners require an EDS file be install before they can connect to the device. If your DeviceNet scanner does not require an EDS files to be installed, this step can be skipped. The EDS files for the Power Wave are located on the CD that was shipped with the DeviceNet Module.

To find the correct EDS file to install, go to the DeviceNet Configuration screen in Observer (complete Installation Software). The bottom left of this lists the Product Code and Vendor Revision. Based on these settings, pick the appropriate EDS file, see the table below for more information on which EDS file to use. Note that the product code that the DeviceNet reports back is based on software that is loaded into the control board.

Configure the DeviceNet scanner to talk to the Power Wave.

Verify that the DeviceNet scanner can see the Power Wave.

Connect PC to Power Wave

With a standard 9 pin to 25 pin RS232 serial cable (Radio Shack cat no. 26-269), make a connection with the Power Wave and a PC.

Turn on the Power Wave

Verify that no other application is using the serial port. This includes any Hot Sync Application.

DeviceNet Software Settings

With the PC connected to the Power Wave, double click on the Power Wave Utilities on the Desktop to run the Power Wave PC appli- cation Launching program.

From the Applications tab select DeviceNet Observer. This will run Power Wave Observer.

Select the appropriate communication port and click OK.

Note 1: MAC ID

Using bank S2, and switches 3 to 8, set the DeviceNet MAC ID on the gateway board. Note that every device on a DeviceNet net- work must have a unique MAC ID. Use table 3 in this section of the report to set the correct MAC ID. Changes to the DeviceNet MAC ID or Baud Rate require a cycle of power in order for them to take effect.
