Add an address block (DeviceNet)

Add an address block to specify the location and size of a memory block within the DeviceNet Scanner's I/O table. You cannot read mapped data from a controller that has not been specified in an address block.
To add an address block to a DeviceNet Scanner's I/O table
  1. Click the
    I/O Configuration
     tab on the
    DeviceNet Scanner Properties
    dialog box to show the
    DeviceNet Scanner
     and the
    Input
     and
    Output
     nodes.
  2. Right-click the input node or output node and then click
    Add Address Block
     to display the
    Address Block Properties
     dialog box.
    1. Set the
      Start Byte
       to specify the beginning of the memory block in the I/O table. Enter the input address or the output address as shown in the
      RSNetWorx
       scanlist fields
      Input Address
      or
      Output Address
      .
    2. Select a value in the
      Length in Bytes
       field to specify the number of bytes of the memory block in the I/O table. The values you enter correspond to the scanlist you generated using
      RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
      .
    3. Click
      OK
       to accept the values and close the dialog box.
  3. Right-click an
    Address Block
     and then click
    Add Device
     to display the
    Device Properties
     dialog box.
    1. Set the
      Start Byte
      to specify the starting byte in the I/O table for the device. The Start Byte must be within the parent Address Block.
    2. Set the
      Length
       field to specify the length of the address block (the amount of space in the input or output table) in bytes for the device. The Length value must be within the parent Address Block.
    3. Set the
      Node
       field to specify the node number of the slave device. The address must be unique for each device, although the address number may be used in both the input and output tables. If the device is a
      PanelView Plus
       acting as a slave device, enter the node number of the
      PanelView Plus
       device in this field.
  4. Click
    OK
     to accept the values and close the dialog box.
