Connecting to the CX-Programmer via the DeviceNet

Section 7-1

7-1-1 Setting Node Addresses

When the CX-Programmer is connected online, it uses FINS message com- munications. It is thus necessary to set the node address to a number other than 0 for DeviceNet Units mounted to the target PC, DeviceNet Units mounted to a PC which is connected by a serial connection to the CX-Pro- grammer, or DeviceNet Units mounted to a PC relaying between networks.

If a DeviceNet Unit with the address node 0 exists in the online connection path, connection will not be possible.

7-1-2 Setting the Message Monitoring Timer of the DeviceNet Unit

When connecting the CX-Programmer via the DeviceNet, set the message monitoring timer inside the following DeviceNet Units to 20,000 ms (20 s).
