2. Installation
(6) The DeviceNet Local Slave property sheet will appear. Select the Equipment
(device) ID. It must be the same number as the Master ID in step (4).
(7) Click on the Connection Configuration tab. Check the Polling check box and
configure how many inputs and outputs for the slave device. In this example, the
Output Size and Input Size are set to 8 bytes.
The load on a bus varies depending on the input/output size settings.
When the load exceeds 60%, the DeviceNet network communications will be
unstable, for example: more communication errors. Restrict the input/output sizes
to the minimum necessar y to minimize the load. The load is also controlled by
baud rate in the master configuration.
For the procedure for verifying the load on the bus using the applicomIO Console
application, refer to the 4. Troubleshooting in this manual.
The input/output sizes of each node may be restricted depending on the master.
For details of the permitted data size, refer to the respective manuals of the masters.
