(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 necessary 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.
(8) Click OK.
