Field Bus Parameter Setting

This section describes the way of node address setting and communication speed setting of DeviceNet master board.

1　

From the tree in the left side of the display, click [Configuration] - [Bus Parameters].

For [MAC ID] and [Baud Rate] on the right side of the window, select following items.

2

With the teach pendant, specify error-related settings.

From the top screen—[F4 I/O]—[F6 Aux.]-[F4 Field Bus parameter]

DeviceNet Master ErrDisplay

This parameter allows you to choose whether the network error will display in "every time" or is display at the "first time" only.

This parameter is set to "0" (EveryTime) by default for safe operation of the facilities. Every time an I/O operation is carried out, an error will display if any.

To check program operations using dummy I/Os for setting up facilities where no connection to the network has been established, set this parameter to "1" (First Time). Doing so will not display errors once detected, allowing you to check program operations.

DeviceNet Insensitive time to network error [ms]

f the Communication check of DeviceNet communication starts too early after the Robot controller startup, an error [8350200B Prepare for field network communication] might be displayed immediately after booting.
To prevent such error, adjust "EtherCAT Insensitive time to network error" of Fieldbus parameter longer.

This completes the bus parameter setting.
