6. Configuring the Gateway
To check that these changes have been entered into the configuration, choose “Monitor” from the “Sub-
Network” menu again:
In point 6), you shall make sure the values of the displayed parameters are the same as the
exchange sizes displayed in the “Sub-network Monitor.” In the current example, “In Area
48 bytes” imply that the “Input1” area begins at offset 0 (physical address 16#0000) and that
its length is equal to 48 bytes. Also, “Out Area 32 bytes” imply that the “Output1” area begins
at offset 0 (physical address 16#0200) and that its length is equal to 32 bytes.
4) Transferring this configuration to the gateway Please see chapter 6.4 Transferring a Configuration to the
Gateway, page 43. Check that the configuration is valid (LED s DEVICE STATUS flashing green).
5) Saving this configuration to your PC’s hard disk.
6) Checking the gateway setup: In RsNetWorx, check the values of the gateway parameters (see chapter 4.2.4
Editing gateway parameters, page 26). Only the value of parameter no. 7, “Input1 length”, should have
changed, from “32 bytes” to “48 bytes”.
7) Changing the amount of data received by the DeviceNet scanner: Still in RsNetWorx, change the value for
the amount of periodic data received by the DeviceNet scanner (see chapter 4.2.5 Configuring the DeviceNet
Scanner, page 28). Change the value of the “Rx Size:” field from 32 to 48, in the “Polled:” section.
8) Configuring the DeviceNet master PLC inputs: In RsNetWorx, establish a new correspondence between the
data from the gateway and the PLC inputs, according to the requirements of your application (see
chapter 4.2.6 Configuring Inputs from the Gateway, page 29). The various possibilities offered by RsNetWorx
for establishing a correspondence between the data from a DeviceNet subscriber and the PLC inputs will not
be covered here. Please see the documentation for this software application to find out more about this step
in setting up a DeviceNet master PLC.
