This manual uses the following terms:

Term: Adapter Definition: The adapter interfaces between DeviceNet devices and ArmorPoint I/O modules. ArmorPoint I/O DeviceNet adapters include the 1738-ADN12, -ADN18, -ADN18P, and -ADNX. The ArmorPoint I/O DeviceNet adapter supports the swapping of two identical modules connected to the adapter. That is, if a 1738-IB4M12 is in slot 3 and another 1738-IB4M12 is in slot 7, the two modules can be removed from the ArmorPoint system and the slot 3 module placed into slot 7, and vice-versa. When Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) is active, the swapped modules will be reconfigured to match the previous module in their new slot. When ADR is not active, the configuration parameters will not be modified, the swapped modules must have identical configuration and values for their EDS file parameters. This refers to the ADR feature of a ControlLogix System on DeviceNet. With ADR active, any device on the DeviceNet link may be removed and replaced with an out-of-the-box checkmark compliant DeviceNet device. The ADR feature will result in downloading the values of the configuration parameters of the EDS file of the removed device to the new device. A feature that lets the ArmorPoint I/O system get up and running without the prerequisite to configure any of the EDS parameters for the PointBus or ArmorPoint I/O modules. Using Auto Start Mode will result in a scan list within the adapter that stores the modules identity information. A feature in devices (e.g., ArmorPoint I/O modules) on the DeviceNet network that causes them to listen to communications on the network and set their own baudrate to match the network rate. The PointBus that consists of ArmorPoint I/O modules connected to the ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapter. Rate of communications between devices on the DeviceNet network. Backplane baudrate is used for the 1738-ADN12, -ADN18, and -ADN18P. Subnet baudrate is used for the 1738-ADNX. DeviceNet communications method in which the adapter sends data based on detection of any changed value within the input data. Data is independently received based on a change of state from the sender. Data in both directions can be acknowledged or unacknowledged depending on the run-time configuration of the system. The period in time associated with post startup activities. Commissioning implies that the system has been validated and all configuration parameters are correct, all modules are in good operating condition, and the adapter scanlist is complete. Utility software you can use to update the adapters firmware with the most current boot and application code.

Preface
Term: Cyclic
Definition: DeviceNet communications method in which the adapter sends data cyclically based on a configured time value. Data is independently received cyclically from the sender. Data in both directions can be acknowledged or unacknowledged depending on the run time configuration of the system. Media Access Control Identifier (DeviceNet network address). A DeviceNet network device (e.g., 1771-SDN) that initiates communication with DeviceNet slave devices (e.g., ArmorPoint I/O modules) to retrieve data. The master only receives unprompted data when the slave is enabled for COS and there is a change in the devices operating state. The 1738-ADNX has a unique attribute, Max(imum) Backplane MACID. This value represents the highest node address of a module residing on the backplane. This value must be greater than or equal to the right most backplane ArmorPoint I/O module, but must be less than that of any non-backplane Subnet module. State of the adapter when it is not powered or maintaining normal communication exchanges with other DeviceNet devices. State of the adapter when it is powered and maintaining normal communication exchanges with other DeviceNet devices. The ArmorPoint I/O backplane PointBus maintains all DeviceNet network protocol but also offers configuration capabilities. DeviceNet communications method in which a module sends data in response to received data. The primary DeviceNet network is defined as the DeviceNet link that provides the direct connection between the ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapter and a DeviceNet scanner. Configuration software for the adapter and Subnet modules. The list of Subnet modules connected to the adapter. When ADR is active, the scanlist stores the configured values of each of the Subnet modules configurable parameters. When ADR is not active, the scanlist stores only the module identity information. Operating state of the ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapter when it retrieves I/O data from Subnet modules. A DeviceNet network device that cannot initiate communication (except when configured with COS enabled) but responds to a DeviceNet master device. Adapter sends data in response to the strobe command. The single bit allocated to the adapter in the strobe message is not used. If the configured size of the input data (sent from the adapter) is greater than 8 bytes, the strobe connection establishment will fail. In this case, the input size must be reconfigure to 8 bytes or less.

Preface
Term: Subnet
Definition: 1738-ADNX only. The Subnet DeviceNet network is defined as the DeviceNet link that provides the expansion of the PointBus to let the 1738-ADNX use its lower connector to add an additional 500 meters and up to 63 nodes. These nodes will be bridged through the 1738-ADNX up to the primary network. Note that backplane modules are also part of the Subnet.

Guidelines for Using Your Adapter
Remember the following operational guidelines when using your ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapter. Do not leave spaces in the I/O. Instead, install all ArmorPoint I/O modules adjacent to each other. Populate every position on the mounting base. ArmorPoint does not support removal and insertion under power (RIUP). When an I/O module is removed, the IP67 seal is broken and the backplane bus is interrupted. Use Allen-Bradley terminal markers to identify your ArmorPoint I/O modules. For more information on the Allen-Bradley terminal marking kits, see the documents list on page Preface-5.

Install the mounting base as follows: 1. Lay out the required points as shown in the drilling dimension drawing. 2. Drill the necessary holes for #8 (M4) machine or self-tapping screws. 3. Mount the adapter and I/O bases using #8 (M4) screws. 4. Ground the system using the ground lug connection in the I/O base. (The ground lug connection is also a mounting hole.)

Set the Node Address
Valid node addresses are 00 through 63. Set the node address using either the rotary switches, RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, DeviceNetManager, or another software configuration tool. Setting the switches at any number from 64 through 99 lets the software have address control. Each module is shipped with the switches set for node address 63. Remove the caps on the front of the module to access the switches (refer to the X10 and X1 on the front of the module). The two switches are: X10 (most significant digit) - left side of module X1 (least significant digit) - right side of module
This example shows the node address set at 63.
31433-M
To reset the node address, use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the switches. Line up the small notch on the switch with the number setting you wish to use and then cycle power.
1-3
The rotary switches are read periodically. If the switches have been changed since the last time they were read and they no longer match the on line address, a minor fault will occur, which is indicated by a flashing red Adapter Status LED. Settings of 64 through 99 cause the module to use the last valid node address stored internally. For example, the last setting internally was 40. If a change is made to 68, and then you power up, the address will default to 40. The module is equipped with AutoBaud detect. AutoBaud lets the module read the settings already in use on your DeviceNet network and automatically adjusts to follow those settings.

The adapter and Subnet/Backplane modules must use the same baudrate to communicate with each other. Use one or both of the following to set a Subnet/Backplane baudrate. Enable or disable the Backplane Autobaud feature for ArmorPoint I/O modules. ArmorPoint I/O modules have Autobaud enabled as the default- See page 2-12. Set the adapter baudrate for the Subnet. The default for the 1738-ADN12, -ADN18, and -ADN18P is 1Mbaud. The default for the 1738-ADNX is 125Kbaud - See page 2-9. You set the backplane baudrate for the 1738-ADN12, -ADN18, and -ADN18P. You set the Subnet baudrate for the 1738-ADNX.
2. Set Subnet/Backplane I/O Module Addresses

Once the adapter and ArmorPoint I/O modules are communicating at the same rate on the backplane, you must make sure all modules use a valid MACID. Set the Auto Address feature for ArmorPoint I/O modules - See page 2-13. For the 1738-ADNX, a DeviceNet configuration tool, such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, may be required to set the node address. (if node address switches are not present on the Subnet device).
3. Configure the Subnet I/O

In the first two steps, you set a consistent communication rate and made sure each module uses valid addresses for communication. Next you must configure the PointBus (e.g., set scan list). You can configure the PointBus using one of two methods: Auto Start Mode (ASM) or Manually For more information on configuring the PointBus, see Chapter 3 for ASM or see Chapter 4 for manual configuration.
2-4
4. Configure the Primary DeviceNet Network

Finally, you must configure the adapter for communication with a master (e.g., 1756-DNB). For more information on configuring the DeviceNet network, see Chapter 5, Add the ArmorPoint DeviceNet Adapter to the DeviceNet Scanners Scanlist. You must understand all of the adapters features to effectively use it in your ArmorPoint I/O system. Keep these four steps in mind as you read this manual: 1. Set Subnet/Backplane Baudrate 2. Set Subnet/Backplane I/O Module Addresses 3. Configure the Subnet I/O 4. Configure the Primary DeviceNet Network
2-5
Remove and Reinsert Modules on the Backplane

Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) is not recommended in a ArmorPoint System because of the following reasons. Removing a module breaks the IP67 seal. Removing a module breaks the backplane bus. Modules to the right of the removed module will be lost to the adapter. Also, the terminating resistor will be removed, causing system uncertainty. Inserting a module under power may cause the adjacent module to reset due to the addition of a large capacitive load on the power bus.
IMPORTANT
If the module is removed while it is under power, all the modules to the right of the removed module will disconnect from the PointBus and field power until the module is reinstalled.
If you must remove and reinsert modules, we recommend the following: Do not move I/O modules to different locations on the mounting base after they have been installed and configured. If adjacent modules (i.e., 2 or more) are removed from the backplane, replace all of them before attempting to operate the ArmorPoint I/O system. Input data will hold last state until all previously removed modules are replaced. If adjacent modules are removed and all but one is returned, the adapter cannot verify the location of the returned modules. For example, if modules are removed from nodes 3 and 4 and only the module from node 4 is returned, the adapter cannot verify the location. In this case, the adapter alerts you via a flashing red PointBus status LED that it cannot verify the presence of modules in the affected locations. I/O data will not be exchanged with this node until both modules have been reinserted. If modules of different types are removed and returned to the wrong locations, the adapter identifies the returned modules and alerts you (via RSNetWorx for DeviceNet) that the error has occurred and must be corrected.
2-6
If modules of the same type are removed and returned to the wrong locations, the adapter identifies the returned modules, updates their MACIDs, and continues operation.
IMPORTANT
The removal and return scenario exists whether the system is under power or not. If the system is under power, the scenario arises immediately. If the system is not under power, the scenario arises in the next power cycle. Also, the example above shows removal of two adjacent modules. The scenario described exists anytime 2 or more adjacent modules are removed and all are not returned.
IMPORTANT
Care must be taken when replacing backplane I/O modules. Each I/O module stores its configuration parameters in internal non-volatile memory. You must either enable ADR for all modules or manually configure each module in a non-manufacturing environment when the module is being replaced or placed on the network for the first time. Failure to do so could result in inadvertent control attributed to different configuration settings.
Understand the DeviceNet Network and Subnet
DeviceNet Network
Your adapter serves as a slave to DeviceNet masters. The adapter receives data from and returns data to the master through the following I/O connections: Change of State (COS) Cyclic Polled Strobe
2-7
Backplane/Subnet Network
On the Backplane/Subnet, your adapter acts as a scanner and is the master of the Subnet modules. The adapter performs the following functions: Exchanges I/O data with devices on the Backplane/Subnet Collects I/O data from the Backplane/Subnet and sends it to devices on the DeviceNet network (e.g., scanners or controllers) Supplies power to the backplane I/O modules (See Appendix A for power supply rules regarding I/O modules power requirements.)
Data Collection
The adapter collects I/O data from up to 63 modules via the Backplane/Subnet. The I/O modules appear on the primary DeviceNet network as a single node, though, and require only one DeviceNet node address.
IMPORTANT
If Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) is enabled on the adapter, you can only connect up to 62 modules via the Subnet. For more information on ADR, see page 2-15.
Module Power
The adapter supplies 5V logic power to ArmorPoint I/O modules by converting 24V dc field power to PointBus 5V power. You can connect up to 63 I/O modules to each adapter and you can power the backplane I/O modules from the adapter (with a maximum of 10A of field power). You may use the integrated, isolated 24V dc expansion power unit (1738-EP24DC) to power additional I/O modules, as shown below.

Adapter Features
Your adapter uses the following features on both the DeviceNet network and the PointBus: Self-Test Field Upgradable Firmware Fully Configurable Software Connections Baudrates
Self-Test
When power is applied to the adapter, the adapter performs a self-test. The adapter tests various internal and programmatic memories and checks the status indicators (LEDs).
Field Upgradable Firmware

You can update the adapters firmware with the ControlFlash Utility software. This feature lets you always use the most current firmware.
Fully Software Configurable

The adapter is fully software configurable using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. You must configure the adapter to be used with a DeviceNet master (e.g., 1756-DNB) and separately to be used with Subnet devices. For more information on how to configure your adapter to use with a DeviceNet master, see Chapter 5, Add the ArmorPoint DeviceNet Adapter to the DeviceNet Scanners Scanlist. For more information on how to configure your adapter to use with Subnet modules, see Chapter 4, Configure the DeviceNet Scanner Subnet.
Connections
Your adapter supports the following connections on both the primary DeviceNet network and Subnet: I/O connections: Polled Strobe Cyclic COS Explicit connections
2-9
You can use I/O mapping to determine the data contained in each connection. The adapter supports Master/Slave connection types on the DeviceNet network. On the Subnet, the adapter functions as a scanner device, exchanging data with I/O modules.
Baudrates
Choose baudrates for the adapter in the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. The adapter supports these rates: 125Kbaud 250Kbaud 500Kbaud Autobaud - The adapter detects the primary DeviceNet network baudrate and automatically sets its own baudrate to match the network. For the 1738-ADN12, -ADN18, and -ADN18P, the PointBus can be configured to operate at 1Mbaud (1000Kbaud). For the 1738-ADNX, the Subnet can be configured to operate at 125K, 250K, and 500K baud only.
Auto Start Mode

Auto Start Mode lets you easily get your adapter installed and operating. In this mode, the adapters configurable features operate as they were most recently configured. For example, if Autobaud on DeviceNet was enabled in the adapters last configuration, it will be enabled when Auto Start Mode is used. For a more detailed explanation of how to use Auto Start Mode, see Chapter 3.
2-10
Auto Catalog Replace

Auto Catalog Replace corrects errors that might occur when backplane modules of the same type are removed and replaced in the wrong location. If modules of the same type are removed and returned to the wrong locations, the adapter identifies the returned modules, updates their MAC IDs, and continues operation.
IMPORTANT
If modules of different types are removed and returned to the wrong locations, the adapter identifies the returned modules and alerts you (via RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, the Node Status Table, and the Faulted Node Table) that the error has occurred and must be corrected.
Backplane (1738-ADN12, -ADN18, -ADN18P)/Subnet (1738-ADNX) Baudrate

EDS parameter Backplane Baudrate is accessible from the primary DeviceNet and sets a specific baudrate for all backplane I/O modules. Set this parameter in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet to one of the following baudrates: 125 Kbaud 250 Kbaud 500 Kbaud 1 Mbaud (available for all the ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapters except the 1738-ADNX)
When you download this parameter, the adapter sends a command to reset all present I/O modules on the backplane to the new baudrate. If additional modules are connected to the adapter, you must download the Backplane/Subnet Baudrate to make sure the new modules use the same rate as the others.
2-11
The baudrate may not take effect until power is recycled or the I/O modules are reset.
IMPORTANT
Changes to the Backplane/Subnet Baudrate parameter only take effect if they are downloaded on an individual basis. (For example, if you change the Backplane/Subnet Baudrate and download the changes with additional changes to other features, the Backplane/Subnet Baudrate remains at the previous setting.) Also, this parameter should be set to Do Nothing when you download all parameters or when Automatic Device Replacement is enabled for the adapter. If you want to set an I/O module to use a specific baudrate (i.e., 125, 250, 500), you must first disable Backplane Autobaud for that module.
Backplane/Subnet Baudrate performs the following functions: Sets the adapters Subnet baudrate Sends a message to all connected backplane I/O modules. If an I/O module is set to autobaud, it receives the message but ignores the new baudrate.
2-12
Backplane Autobaud
The adapter itself never autobauds on the Subnet. Backplane Autobaud automatically enables or disables Autobaud for all I/O modules currently attached to the backplane. The adapter does not set a specific rate though (as with Backplane Baudrate). If you enable Backplane Autobaud in the adapter or the EDS parameter access that you set from the primary DeviceNet, the adapter only enables the Autobaud in all backplane I/O modules. When the modules listen to communications on the DeviceNet network, they detect the rate of communication and automatically set their own baudrates to match the network rate. The module does not automatically detect the backplane baudrate until power is cycled or the module is reset. TIP Autobaud, when enabled, is useful if you swap ArmorPoint I/O modules between networks that are operating at different baudrates.
Enable Backplane Baudrate in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet.

IMPORTANT
Changes to the Backplane Autobaud parameter only take effect if they are downloaded on an individual basis. (For example, if you enable the Backplane Autobaud setting and download the change with additional changes to other features, the Backplane Baudrate remains disabled.) This parameter should be set to Do Nothing when you download all parameters or when Automatic Device Replacement is enabled for the adapter. If you want to set an I/O module to use a specific baudrate (i.e., 125, 250, 500), you must first disable Autobaud for that module.
2-13
Auto Address
The EDS parameter Auto Address is available from the primary DeviceNet and lets the user sequentially order the node addresses of backplane I/O modules. This parameter is not a mode but occurs on a single occurrence only. The node address selected is assigned to the module closest to the adapter. The next closest module is assigned the next numerically higher value. The numbering pattern continues for all connected backplane I/O modules. Enable this parameter in the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
IMPORTANT
Changes to the Auto Address parameter only take effect if they are downloaded on an individual basis. (For example, if you enable the Auto Address and download the changes with additional changes to other features, the node addresses of the I/O modules remains disabled.) This parameter should be set to Do Nothing when you download all parameters or when Automatic Device Replacement is enabled for the adapter.
Physical List Acquire Status

The adapter maintains a physical list that indicates the order of the node addresses of all ArmorPoint I/O modules present on the backplane. Physical List Acquire Status shows the status of this physical list acquire process. The adapter requires that each backplane I/O module has a MACID greater than that of its neighbor to its immediate left. The list is created when power is applied to the adapter and each time a module is inserted on the backplane. The valid values are: Idle Busy Auto Start Mode
2-14
Cycling Node Status

Using the Cycling Node Status parameter, you can easily determine the status of any ArmorPoint I/O modules with which the adapter is experiencing problems. A corresponding text string appears, including the MAC ID, and a description of the status code reported in the Node Status Table. For more information on the Node Status Table, see page 2-24. For the connection sizes mentioned below, the I/O connection sizes on DeviceNet are dependent on the scanlist configuration on the backplane.
Poll/COS Connection Consume Size

Poll/COS Connection Consume Size shows the size (number of data bytes) consumed by the poll/COS (Instance 2) I/O connection on the primary DeviceNet.
Poll Connection Produce Size

Poll Connection Produce Size shows the size (number of data bytes) produced by the polled (Instance 2) I/O connection on the primary DeviceNet.
COS/Cyclic Connection Produce Size

COS Produce Size shows the size (number of data bytes) produced by the Change of State I/O connection on the primary DeviceNet.
Strobe Connection Produce Size

The Strobe Produce Size shows the size (number of data bytes) produced by the Strobe I/O connection on the primary DeviceNet.
2-15
Cycling I/O Mapping

Cycling I/O Mapping is an EDS parameter accessible from the primary DeviceNet that shows you how data is mapped in the adapters scanlist. The data, as shown below, is listed in order of active modules in the scanlist.
The data format is NN OBBB:b-BBB:b,IDBBB:b-BBB:b, where: NN = node number O or I = data type (output or input) BBB = byte number b = bit number D = DeviceNet connection (C [COS/cyclic], S [strobe], or P [poll]) If an I/O modules data has multiple mappings, you must use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet to browse to the backplane to view the mappings.
IMPORTANT
Automatic Device Replacement

With Automatic Device Replacement (ADR), the adapter automatically configures a new replacement module.
IMPORTANT
The replacement module must match the original module (i.e., same vendor I.D., device type, product code, major and minor revision) for ADR to work. The parameters that must match are those selected in the electronic keying portion of the scanlist. You determine the level of electronic keying. The backplane configuration parameters (e.g., Auto Address) should be set to Do Nothing.
2-16
The adapter is capable of holding approximately 64K of configuration data for ArmorPoint I/O modules connected to it. The adapter sends configuration data to an I/O module each time connections are created with that module (i.e., power cycle or module insertion to backplane). You can exchange an old module for a new one if the following conditions are met: ADR is enabled in the adapter. The new module matches the old one (i.e., electronic keying). The new module is inserted in the proper location (only for modules using the backplane). For modules that do not use the backplane, you can exchange an old module for a new one if the following conditions are met: The MACID equals 63. The new module matches the electronic keying of the old module. Only one missing module matches the electronic keying of the old module. If the conditions listed above are met, the new modules MACID is changed to the appropriate value, if necessary, and the configuration information is subsequently downloaded to the module.
Physical Ordering
When power is applied, or when an I/O module is inserted, the adapter detects the backplane I/O modules order, based on MACID. With Physical Ordering, the adapter detects if any ArmorPoint I/O modules connected to it are out of order. If this condition is detected, the adapter changes the MACIDs of any new modules.
IMPORTANT
If any backplane I/O modules are missing when power is applied, none of the backplane modules enter run mode.
The adapters MACID is always 0 on Subnet. The MACIDs of each attached backplane I/O module must be sequentially ordered (i.e., each modules MACID is greater than the left adjacent module).
2-17
Interscan Delay (ISD)

Interscan Delay is the time delay between consecutive I/O scans of polled devices. The default setting is 10ms. The ISD=4ms for Auto Start Mode. You can change this parameter in the Module window of the scanner in the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. The scanner uses this period of time to perform non-time-critical communications on the DeviceNet network, such as communicating with RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. Setting this parameter to a very low value increases the latency for non-time-critical scanner operations, including the time required to respond to RSLinx software and configuration functions. Setting this parameter to a very large value reduces the freshness of the I/O data being collected by the scanner and is not advisable.
Foreground to Background Poll Ratio

Foreground to Background Poll Ratio is the ratio of foreground to background polls. You can set this parameter in the Module window of the scanner in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. Devices can be polled on every I/O scan (foreground) or they can be polled less frequently (background). Whether a particular device will be polled in the foreground or in the background is determined by its Poll Rate parameter on the Edit I/O Parameters dialog box, which is accessed from the Scanlist property page. The poll ratio sets the frequency of poll I/O messages to a device in relation to the number of I/O scans. For example, if the poll ratio is set to 5, the scanner will poll the selected devices once every six I/O scans. We recommend that you use a poll ratio of 1.
Expected Packet Rate

Expected Packet Rate is the rate at which the packets will be expected to be received by the scanner. You set this parameter in the Module window (from the Advanced button) of the scanner in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
IMPORTANT
We recommend that you do not change the Expected Packet Rate unless you are instructed to do so by a Rockwell Automation technical support representative.
2-18
Transmit Retries
Transmit Retries are the maximum number of times that the scanner will attempt to send an I/O message to a device before it times out and generates an error message. You set this parameter in the Module window (from the Advanced button) of the scanner in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
IMPORTANT
We recommend that you do not change the Transmit Retries unless you are instructed to do so by a Rockwell Automation technical support representative.
Communicate Through the Adapter
As described previously in this manual, the adapter resides on the DeviceNet network and the PointBus simultaneously. The adapters functions are as follows: DeviceNet adapter serves as a slave device that exchanges I/O data with another DeviceNet scanner device (e.g., 1771-SDN) via DeviceNet messages PointBus adapter serves as master for up to 63 I/O modules, using DeviceNet messages to consume from or produce data to each module.
IMPORTANT
If Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) is enabled on the adapter, you can only connect up to 62 modules via the PointBus. For more information on ADR, see page 2-15.
Map the Data

Your adapter must store data temporarily before transferring it between devices. You must map data to your adapters memory before transferring it. For a detailed description of the mapping process, see page 2-20.
2-19
Overview of the Communication Process

In a typical configuration, the adapter acts as an interface between a DeviceNet scanner (e.g., 1756-DNB) and ArmorPoint I/O modules. The following example graphic shows information transferred from a 1756-DNB to ArmorPoint I/O modules.
IMPORTANT
Although information is exchanged between the Logix5555 and 1756-DNB, this diagram (nor this chapter) is not designed to explain such an exchange.
Four data transfers are shown in the diagram, including: 1. Scanner to adapter 2. Adapter to I/O modules 3. I/O modules to adapter 4. Adapter to scanner

Because the adapter simultaneously resides on the DeviceNet network and on PointBus, it serves as a slave to the processor (i.e., steps 1 and 4) and a master to the I/O modules (i.e., steps 2 and 3).
2-20
The four data transfers are not necessarily sequential. Transfers 2 and 3 typically occur more frequently than transfers 1 and 4.
Image Table Mapping

Your adapter receives data from: master devices (e.g., scanners) - output data is then passed to ArmorPoint I/O modules input modules - input data is passed to the scanner The adapter must map the data it receives to its internal memory before passing it to the appropriate device. The I/O map for a module is divided into: read bytes - input and status bytes write bytes - output and configuration bytes The data is mapped by 3 buffers for input data (each representing an I/O connection on the primary DeviceNet) and 1 buffer for output data (representing data sent for Poll or COS connections on the primary DeviceNet). The number of read bytes or write bytes can be 2 or more. The length of each I/O module's read bytes and write bytes vary in size depending on module complexity. Each I/O module supports at least 1 input byte or 1 output byte. Status and configuration are optional, depending on the module.

Device Failure - One or more of the devices in the scanlist has failed to communicate with the adapter. Communications Failure - The adapter has entered the BUSOFF state on the Subnet. Another Subnet device is configured with the wrong baud rate. Duplicate Node Address Failure There is another node with the same address (0) as the scanner on the Subnet and the adapter has failed its Dup_MAC_ID test.

Byte 1
The first 2 bytes of output data on the DeviceNet network that are sent to the adapter are reserved as a command word. No bits have been defined.
2-23
Communicate With I/O Modules
The adapter module supports multiple communication choices. These choices all use the default I/O structure previously described. The adapters master (e.g., 1756-DNB) makes the actual communication choice. The choices are: Polled Adapter sends data in response to received data. Strobe Adapter sends data in response to the strobe command. The single bit allocated to the adapter in the strobe message is not used. If the configured size of the input data (sent from the adapter) is greater than 8 bytes, the strobe connection establishment will fail. In this case, the input size must be reconfigured to 8 bytes or less (only 6 bytes are I/O data because the first 2 bytes are the status word). Change of State Adapter sends data based on detection of any changed value within the input data. Data is independently received based on change of state from the sender. Data in both directions can be acknowledged or unacknowledged depending on the run time configuration of the system. Cyclic Adapter sends data cyclically based on a configured time value. Data is independently received cyclically from the sender. Data in both directions can be acknowledged or unacknowledged depending on the run time configuration of the system. The adapter uses these messages to solicit data from or deliver data to each device. Data received from the devices (i.e., input data) is organized by the adapter and retransmitted to the master. Data received from the master (i.e., output data) is organized in the adapter and sent on to the I/O modules.
2-24
Use Diagnostic Tables
The adapter maintains three diagnostic tables to manage the flow of data between a processor and a networks devices. You can access the table over DeviceNet through the Scan Config Object (Class Code 0x90), Instance 1, via the following read-only attributes: Faulted Node Table (Attribute 0xA) - In this 8-byte table, each bit represents a node on the backplane. For example, bit 0 in byte 0 represents MACID 0 (the adapter), while bit 0 in byte 1 represents MACID 8 and so on. If a bit is set, a corresponding non-zero status value can be read from the Node State Table described below. Idle Node Table (Attribute 0xB) - In this 8-byte table, each bit also represents a node on the backplane, as with the Faulted Node Table. If a bit is set in the Idle Node Table, the corresponding node is in the scanlist and currently in idle mode. Node Status Table (Attribute 0xC) - This 64 byte table contains a status code for each possible MACID on the backplane. Non-zero values are accompanied with the respective bit in the Faulted Node Table being set. See the table Node Status Table Numeric Code Definitions for an explanation of the text messages associated with the Node Status Table.

Use Auto Start Mode
Why Use Auto Start Mode?
Auto Start Mode offers you a quick and easy method of getting your ArmorPoint I/O system up and running. If your ArmorPoint I/O application can use default configuration, you should use Auto Start Mode to easily begin operations. Once your adapter is: installed connected to the systems I/O modules online (in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet) you only need to choose the Auto Start Mode option in the adapters Parameters window in the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software and the adapter begins working with a default configuration.
IMPORTANT
Although Auto Start Mode allows your adapter to operate with a default configuration, you can write a custom configuration after operation has begun. For more information on how to write custom configuration for your adapter on DeviceNet, see Chapter 5, Add the ArmorPoint DeviceNet Adapter to the DeviceNet Scanners Scanlist.
What Does Auto Start Mode Do?

When using Auto Start Mode, the adapter: 1. Sets all modules on the backplane to Auto Baud 2. Reads the Subnet modules identity information 3. Sets backplane modules addresses sequentially 4. Generates a scanlist for the Subnet 5. Maps I/O data, based on byte, word, double-word, or fixed boundaries When this sequence of events is completed, the ArmorPoint I/O modules connected to the adapter are ready to accept connections from a scanner.
Use Auto Start Mode
3-3
How Is I/O Data Mapped Using Auto Start Mode?

In Auto Start Mode, you can map I/O data in the adapters memory in one of the following ways: Byte Boundaries Word Boundaries Double Word Boundaries Fixed Boundaries
Byte Boundaries
Each nodes I/O data is mapped in the adapters memory at the next available byte. This option works best in applications that use Allen-Bradley PLCs and SLCs.
Word Boundaries
Each nodes I/O data is mapped in the adapters memory at the next available word. This option works best in applications that use Allen-Bradley PLCs and SLCs.
Double Word Boundaries

Each nodes I/O data is mapped in the adapters memory at the next available double word. This option works best in applications that use Allen-Bradley Logix products.
Fixed Boundaries
The map to the fixed location is based on the node address. Mapping size ranges from 1 to 32 and is set using an EDS parameter. The mapping for a node with address 1 begins on byte 2. The formula for mapping is: 2+((N-1)(mapsize)), where N = node address. Keep the following in mind when using fixed boundaries: You specify fixed map size using EDS parameters Data is mapped after status/channel words in I/O image, beginning with byte 2 No data area is reserved for MACID 0 (the adapter)

Use Auto Start Mode
Requirement To Using Auto Start Mode

Your ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapter must be free of I/O connections on DeviceNet when you use Auto Start Mode. If you attempt to use Auto Start Mode after another scanner device has established I/O connections with the adapter, your attempt to use Auto Start Mode will be rejected. When the adapter is configuring itself in Auto Start Mode, no other device can establish I/O connections to the adapter.
Install the I/O Module
To install the module: 1. Using a bladed screwdriver, rotate the keyswitch on the mounting base clockwise until the correct number for the I/O module aligns with the notch in the base. (See the individual ArmorPoint I/O module installation instructions for this number.) 2. Position the module vertically above the mounting base. The module will bridge two bases.
Module will bridge two bases.

Remove the Module From the Mounting Base

To remove the module from the mounting base: 1. Put a flat blade screwdriver into the slot of the orange latching mechanism. 2. Push the screwdriver toward the I/O module to disengage the latch. The module will lift up off the base. 3. Pull the module off of the base. For more information on installing and wiring the multiple ArmorPoint I/O modules, see the installation instructions for each catalog number.
Use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
You must use the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to configure your adapter. If you are using a 1738-ADNX adapter, make sure that you properly configure non-backplane modules for baudrate and MACID. Follow the steps below to use Auto Start Mode. 1. Go online in the software.
IMPORTANT
Auto Start Mode is only available when RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is online.
A. Click on the Network pull-down menu. B. Choose Online.
2. Once you are online, browse for the primary network (e.g., You can use Single Pass Browse).
A. Click on the Network pull-down menu. B. Choose a Browse type.

Double click on this icon.
You can either: Upload configuration from the device to update the software Download configuration from the software to the device 5. Click Yes to upload configuration from the device.
Use Auto Start Mode
3-7
Begin Auto Start Mode
After you upload the configuration from the device to the software, begin Auto Start Mode (ASM). 1. Double click on the adapter icon to open the adapter properties window. 2. Click on the Parameters tab. 3. Click on the right side of the Auto Start Mode line so that a menu appears.
A. Click on the Parameters window.
B. Use the Auto Start Mode pull-down menu to choose a mapping option. The options are described on page 3-3.
4. Download the Auto Start Mode value. Make sure you only download this single value, as shown below.
A. Choose Single Value.
B. Download the value.
After 30-40 seconds, the adapter begins operations and uses the configuration most recently applied. During the Auto Start Mode process, the Physical List Acquire Status field displays the words: Auto Start Mode, but after the download is complete the field displays the word Idle. Check for solid red indicators on all modules Verify that all non-backplane modules have the proper baudrate (or have autobaud enabled)
3-8
Use Auto Start Mode
Check that MACIDs are set to proper values Check scanlist browse to Subnet and view scanlist, or look at mapping text Make sure the scanlist was saved (if not, investigate why?) If you are using the 1738-ADNX adapter, check the Max(imum) Backplane MACID parameter. It should equal the number of modules residing on the backplane. After ASM has completed (that is, Physical List Acquire Status field is Idle), verify that the operation was successful and that each I/O module was added to the adapters scanlist. The PointBus Status LED should be solid green. This indicates only that the adapter is able to establish I/O connections with each module in its scanlist, not that each module on the Subnet was successfully added to its scanlist. To verify the presence of each module in the adapters scanlist, perform one of the following checks: Each I/O modules NET LED should be solid green. If the device has neither LED, use one of the following methods. By browsing to the Subnet and uploading the adapters scanlist using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet and verifying that the device is found in the scanlist. By repeatedly uploading the EDS parameter Cycling I/O Mapping to verify that a mapping for the concerned module exists. See page 2-15 for more information about this parameter. If one of the following is observed, it is likely that one of the Subnet modules has been addressed incorrectly or is configured to communicate at the wrong baud rate. The adapters PointBus Status LED is solid or blinking red An I/O modules NET LED is solid red It appears that the adapter has not saved a scanlist
Use Auto Start Mode
3-9
Use the following procedures to attempt to remedy a problem: Verify that each non-backplane modules address and baudrate have been set correctly. Verify that each backplane module is configured to autobaud. The adapters EDS parameter Set Backplane Autobaud can be used to set each modules autobaud parameter. It is necessary to cycle a modules power before the autobaud parameter change takes effect. In rare situations, it may be necessary to download the parameter and cycle power several times before each backplane modules autobaud parameter has been changed. Note that if the adapter is configured to autobaud on the primary DeviceNet network, network traffic on the primary network is required before the backplane modules will attempt to communicate. For this reason, it is sometimes helpful to have RSLinx continuously browsing the primary network while attempting the ASM process and verification. When it is believed that each non-backplane module is correctly configured and that each backplane module is able to communicate on the Subnet, the ASM process can be attempted again. After successfully configuring your adapter with the Auto Start Mode feature, the adapter must still be added to the primary DeviceNet network scanners scanlist. See Chapter 5 for more information.
Use Custom Configuration
The Auto Start Mode is recommended to quickly and easily get your ArmorPoint I/O system up and running. But this mode does not prevent you from changing the adapters default configuration after system operation has begun. For more information on how to write custom configuration for your adapter on DeviceNet, see Chapter 4, Configure the DeviceNet Scanner Subnet and Chapter 5, Add the ArmorPoint DeviceNet Adapter to the DeviceNet Scanners Scanlist.
IMPORTANT
The adapters ADR configuration for the Subnet modules is reset when you run Auto Start Mode.

Guidelines for Using Your Adapter
Remember the following operational guidelines when using your ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapter. Do not leave spaces in the I/O. Instead, install all ArmorPoint I/O modules adjacent to each other. Populate every position on the mounting base. Do not add new I/O modules to the end of the ArmorPoint I/O system while the system is under power. Use labels with the I/O modules. Do not move I/O modules to different locations on the mounting base after they have been installed and configured. If adjacent modules (i.e., 2 or more) are removed, replace all of them to operate the ArmorPoint I/O system. Input data will hold last state until all previously removed modules are replaced. Use Allen-Bradley marker cards to identify your ArmorPoint I/O modules. The cards are easily ordered from your Rockwell Automation representative under the Bulletin 1492 number. Properly terminate the 1738-ADNX Subnet at the ends of the Subnet trunk line. Correctly set the Max Backplane MACID (1738-ADNX only).

Appendix
Quick Start For the 1738-ADNX
Whats In This Appendix?
In this Quick Start, you will learn how to use the 1738-ADNX with a ControlLogix system on DeviceNet. You will also use one of the 1738-ADNXs features (Auto Start Mode) in an exercise to automatically configure devices on its Subnet. When you complete this quick start you will be familiar with: The 1738-ADNX as an adapter on the ControlLogix primary DeviceNet network and as a scanner on the DeviceNet expansion Subnet Configuring the 1738-ADNX with ArmorPoint I/O on its Subnet Using and applying the correct termination of the 1738-ADNXs Subnet Using the 1738-ADNX to expand the length of a DeviceNet system Using the 1738-ADNX to implement a second baudrate for Subnet devices For rules and guidelines regarding how to use the 1738-ADNX, see Appendix C of this manual.
Assumptions
A ControlLogix DeviceNet system already exists to which you are going to add new devices without modifying the existing systems architecture. You are going to expand the length of the system beyond its maximum specification and add new devices that can operate at a different baudrate than the existing system. The existing system attributes include: ControlLogix processor in a Logix chassis of 4 or more slots. 1756-ENBT (EtherNet/IP) in the Logix chassis. Configuration to 125 Kbaud with thin trunk (max distance is 100 m (328 ft.) (ControlLogix chassis may be connected on any DeviceNet network.) ControlLogix processor with a 1756-DNB (DeviceNet) in slot 3 (slot 3 was picked for this example. This can be any slot.)
B-2
The new Subnet system attributes include: Most field devices are more than 100 m from the ControlLogix Processor Previously installed and documented at 500 Kbaud 1738-ADNX with discrete inputs and outputs for several field devices The ability to be replicated several times in the future without changing documentation. (i.e., devices will be replicated with same attributes, node addresses, etc.) The existing devices will be wired to ArmorPoint I/O. NetLinx will let you configure everything from your PC, using the 1756-ENBT module and a 1756-DNB. You will be able to connect from your computer over Ethernet to the ControlLogix backplane and configure both the primary (remember the 1738-ADNX will be a new node on this network) and Subnet network (the 1738-ADNX will be node 0 on this network). When you have completed this exercise you will be able to browse through the 1738-ADNX to see its backplane, using only the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software package. 1. Open RSNetWorx for DeviceNet by double clicking the icon on your desktop.
2. From the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet main menu select File>New. 3. Select DeviceNet configuration.
B-3
4. Click OK. Now that you have created a new DeviceNet project, go on line by clicking the Online icon on the toolbar.
5. A list of the available drivers in RSLinx appears. Drill down from Ethernet into your ControlLogix project through the backplane to your 1756-DNB in slot 3. Select channel A, as shown below.
Your system may not be configured as illustrated. You must pick an Ethernet driver that is configured with the address of your ControlLogix 1756-ENBT bridge module. The sticker on the front of your 1756-ENBT module identifies the IP address configured for your module.
6. Click OK to accept the path configuration. 7. Click OK to the prompt.
B-4
RSNetWorx will go on line. A screen similar to the one below will appear:
Your system may not look like the above system. (You may have more nodes.) It is only important to verify that you have the 1756-DNB at node 0 and the 1738-ADNX at note 16.
8.
After the browse is complete, from the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet main menu select File>Save As.
9. Type in MainNetworkADNX as the filename (use this exact name to avoid confusion later). 10. Click Save. On the main network, the 1738-ADNX acts as an adapter. The rotary switches on the front of the 1738-ADNX should be set to node 16. Verify your browse reported the 1738-ADNX at node 16. Later you will browse deeper to see the Subnet. (Note that on the Subnet, the 1738-ADNX acts as a scanner and is always at node 0 on that network.) 11. Download a blank scanlist to the 1756-DNB. a. You do not want the existing program in our Logix processors to interfere with clearing the scanlist. To ensure that this does not occur, use the key switch to put all the processors in program mode then back to remote program (turn the keys right then back to the middle position). b. Double click the 1756-DNB to bring up its properties page.
B-5
c. Select the Scanlist tab and when prompted click Download.
12. When the download is complete, add the 1738-ADNX to the scanlist by selecting the 1738-ADNX (node 16) and clicking the single right arrow.
A warning window opens that says that the 1738-ADNX does not contain any I/O data.
At this point, RSNetWorx for DeviceNet does not know how many bytes of data are being inputted and outputted to the Subnet so it cannot fill in the values for you. 13. Press OK to close the warning window. 14. To verify that there are no data for input and outputs, click the 1738-ADNX in the Scanlist window.
B-6
15. Click Edit I/O Parameters.
Click the 1738-ADNX in the Scanlist and then click Edit I/O Parameters to verify input and output bytes.
16. Verify that nothing is filled in for input and output sizes (both are zero). If you knew how much data was being produced and consumed on the Subnet, you could fill these fields in manually. Because it is easier to let RSNetWorx for DeviceNet fill in these values for us, click Cancel to close this window.
B-7
17. Remove the 1738-ADNX from the scanlist for now by clicking the double arrows.
Click the double left arrow to remove the 1738-ADNX from the Scanlist. Then verify that the Scanlist is empty. You will return here later after RSNetWorx for DeviceNet knows more about the devices on the Subnet.
18. Click OK. When prompted if you want to download changes to the device, click Yes. At this point you have a choice: You could start another instance of RSNetWorx for DeviceNet and configure the Subnet. You would then see the 1738-ADNX at node 0 on the Subnet and add the ArmorPoint I/O to its scanlist. You would then map the data to the exact location you want it. For example, if ladder logic was already written, you could map it to an address. If you have not written your ladder logic yet and you are not particular about the mapping, you could use the auto start feature of the 1738-ADNX to map all the devices automatically from the primary network. After the mapping is complete, look at the Subnet to verify that everything worked as expected. 19. Verify that the subnetwork taps are electronically isolated and have their own terminating resistors at each end.
IMPORTANT
The Subnet must always be properly terminated. In this example, there is a terminating resistor at each end of the Subnet trunk.
B-8
To properly terminate the 1738-ADNX when using a Subnet, refer to the illustration.

The terminating base is shipped with all the other ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapters. Do not use carbon resistors. Metal film is recommended. Continue ONLY after you have verified that the taps are terminated correctly. 20. Double click on the 1738-ADNX to open the properties window. In the next step you will download the EDS defaults to the 1738-ADNX.
B-9
21. Select the Parameters tab and choose Download. 22. Verify that your window looks similar to the following window.
Review of the 1738-ADNX Rules and the MACID Parameter
To understand some of the MACID parameters, you should review some of the rules for using the 1738-ADNX. The 1738-ADNX always has address 0 on the Subnet. All ArmorPoint I/O backplane module MACIDs must be numerically less than those of non-backplane Subnet modules. Each backplane modules MACID must be greater than that of its left neighboring module. The 1738-ADNX has a unique attribute: Max(imum) Backplane MACID. This value represents the highest node address of a module residing on the backplane. This value must be greater than or equal to the rightmost backplane ArmorPoint I/O module, but must be less than that of any non-backplane Subnet module. You select this value to allow for the future addition of backplane modules. The attributes default value is 31, representing the middle of the address range.
B-10
The 1738-ADNX will automatically maintain the MACIDs of the backplane modules. Note that the assignment of the MACIDs of the non-backplane subnet modules is manual and is not performed or retained by the 1738-ADNX. The 1738-ADNX supports 125 kb, 250 kb, and 500 kb baudrates. For this example, you are going to set the Subnet to 125 kb. When using Auto Start Mode, the adapter: Sets all ArmorPoint I/O modules on the backplane to Autobaud. Reads all ArmorPoint I/O module IDs on the backplane. Sets the ArmorPoint I/O module addresses sequentially. Sets the Max Backplane MACID. Generates a scanlist for the backplane. Maps automatically I/O data, based on byte (I/O data is mapped in the adapters memory at the next available byte), word (I/O data is mapped at the next available word), double-word (I/O data is mapped at the next available double word) or fixed (the data is mapped to a fixed allocation size). You will choose one of these four options from a pulldown menu later in this Quick Start. Your 1738-ADNX DeviceNet adapter must be free of I/O connections when you use Auto Start Mode. If another scanner device has established I/O connections with the adapter (if it is mapped in another scanners scanlist), the attempt to use Auto Start Mode is rejected. Also, when the adapter is configuring itself in Auto Start Mode, no other device can establish I/O connections to the adapter.
IMPORTANT
When the adapter completes this sequence of events, the ArmorPoint I/O modules connected to the adapter are ready to accept connections from a scanner.
IMPORTANT
Although Auto Start Mode lets your adapter operate with a default configuration, you can choose to manually change the configuration after operation has begun or you can write a custom configuration.
B-11
When Auto Start Mode is used, the adapter and connected I/O modules go through the following sequence of events: Connections are established to I/O modules The adapter makes Change of State (COS) connections if the I/O module supports COS, if not, the connection is Polled Data is mapped to the connections The notes above explain parameter 1 Max Backplane MACID. Next you will review parameter 6, Auto Start Mode and parameter 7, Fixed Map Size.
Review of Auto Start Mode

1. Select parameter 6, then click the help icon to display information about Auto Start Mode.
A window describing Auto Start Mode opens.
B-12
Right now, the 1738-ADNX is not in another scanners scanlist so you can use the Auto Start Mode feature. By using Auto Start Mode, the 1738-ADNX will map all the devices on the Subnet and automatically adjust the value for the following parameters: 1, Max Backplane MACID 9, Poll/COS Connection Consume Size 10, Poll Connection Produce Size 11, COS Connection Produce Size, and 12, Strobe Connection Produce Size.
2. Select the pulldown box next to the Auto Start Mode parameter. You can map the data using the four options discussed earlier. If you choose to use the Map Data With Fixed Map Size option, the map size is selected with parameter 7, Fixed Map Size. 3. For this example, choose Map Data To Word Boundaries as shown below:
B-13
Notice that parameters 9, 10, 11 and 12 are still at their default of 2 bytes. These values will be filled out for you when this action is complete.
Download parameters to the device
Monitor icon
4. Make sure All is selected and the Monitor value then click the icon to download parameters to the device (this triggers the Auto Start Mode). 5. Click the Monitor icon and notice: Parameter 6 has gone back to Do Nothing. The Auto Start has begun and will not repeat unless you trigger it again later. Parameter 8, Phys List Acquire Status, indicates you are in Auto Start Mode. Give the system at least a minute or two to complete the configuration you requested then go to the next step.
B-14
6. Wait for parameter 8 to return to idle. Then click the Monitor icon to end monitoring. Notice the following: Parameter 1 has been filled in for you. There are three ArmorPoint I/O modules in the backplane, causing the default to change from 31 to 3. Parameter 3: Verify the Backplane Baudrate is 125 Kbaud. If it is not, you will need to find out why and make the necessary corrections. Parameter 9, 10, 11, and 12 have been filled in for you.
Expand the column to view all the text. Consume size is data that the adapter will consume from the scanner. These are the outputs being sent from the scanner to the ArmorPoint I/O adapter. Produce size is data the 1738-ADNX adapter will produce for the 1756-DNB scanner. This will be discussed in more detail later in this section.
Note that you do not need to view the Subnet to determine where the data has been mapped. You can go back to monitor mode and view parameter 14, Cycling I/O Mapping. The help for this parameter states how to use the parameter to determine mapping.
7. Press OK to close this window.
B-15
8.
From the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet main menu, select File>Save. You must save your work before moving on.
IMPORTANT
Browse the Subnet
Look at the Subnet at this point to make things more clear. 1. From the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet main menu, select File>New and then select DeviceNet Configuration. 2. Click OK. Now that you have a new DeviceNet project created. 3. Click the Online icon.
Last time you browsed to the 1756-DNB. This time you will browse a little deeper.
B-16
4. Drill down from Ethernet into your ControlLogix demo box through the backplane to your 1756-DNB in slot 3, channel A, 1738-ADNX and select DeviceNet Subnet as shown below:
Last time you browsed the main network This time you will browse the Subnet
5. To go on line, click OK to accept the path configuration and then OK to the prompt. Wait for the browse to complete. 6. From the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet main menu, select File>Save As.
7. Type in SubNetADNX as the filename. 8. Click Save.

IMPORTANT
You must save your work before continuing.
B-17
9. Verify your screen appears as shown below.

The nodes can be in any order. Verify: All four are there They have the correct node numbers
On the Subnet, the 1738-ADNX is a scanner and it is always at node 0. It is OK for some or all of the node numbers on the Subnet to be the same as devices on the primary network. Because they are two different networks, duplicate node errors will not occur. The 1738-ADNX will communicate back to the 1756-DNB scanner as a single entity (only taking up one node number on the main network). To view the configuration you just created, upload the scanlist from the 1738-ADNX. 10. Double click on the 1738-ADNX to bring up its properties page. 11. Select the Scanlist tab and when prompted select Upload.
Make sure you click Upload! You do not want to download over the configuration you just created.
B-18
Verify your scanlist matches that shown below.
Notice that all the ArmorPoint I/O modules have been added to the scanlist, as you probably expected. You are about to look at the input and output tabs. Based on your selections earlier, all the data should be mapped to word boundaries.
B-19
Inputs and Outputs

1. Select the Input tab. A single word is 16 bits. Notice that the mapping is as expected. The first two bytes (1 byte = 8 bits) are reserved as read only. The first word is completely used, so the 1738-IB4M12 can map to the beginning of the next word (byte 2, bit 0). There is a space between the 1738-IB4M12 and the 1738-OB4EM12 because the next word does not start until byte 4.
This field describes how the data is transferred between the I/O modules and the adapter on the PointBus Subnet.
The current memory buffer selected is COS/Cyclic. There are also buffers for Polled and Strobed. This is how the data will be transferred to the scanner (1756-DNB in this example).
Use the scroll bar as needed to see all of the data. The first 2 bytes are reserved for status.
Note the mapping in the 1738-ADNX Scanner is shown in byte increments. The 1756-DNB displays in double words (4 bytes).
B-20
Scroll down and notice that bytes 0 through 11 = 12 bytes total were enough for the input data.
This matches what you observed earlier on the main network:

Earlier view of the parameters.
The primary network knew you were producing 12 bytes of data.
The data mapped in the 1738-ADNX will be exchanged with the 1756-DNB scanner. There are three memory buffers that the 1738-ADNX uses for input data to the scanner on DeviceNet. The buffers are COS/cyclic, polled, and strobed. You can map data into any of the three buffer areas on the adapter. Currently, all of the I/O modules are mapped to the COS/cyclic buffer.
B-21
2. Select the pulldown listbox next to the Memory label in the middle of the window to display the three memory buffer choices. 3. Select each of the choices and view the mapping. You will see that only the COS/cyclic buffer is being used (There are 2 bytes reserved for status in each buffer. These words are not for a specific module.) 4. Set the Memory selection back to COS/cyclic. Note that for the 1738-ADNX, each line in the mapping area represents a byte of data. When you view the 1756-DNB, each line will be 4 bytes of data (double word). Now you are ready to take a look at the output side. Based on the numbers you saw on the main network you expect to see 3 bytes (two of them are going to be reserved status words).
Earlier view of the parameters.
The primary network knew you were consuming 3 bytes of data.
B-22
You should still be looking at the subnet 1738-ADNX Input tab. Now select the Output tab and verify you have the following: Notice that only the output module 1738-OB4EM12 appears.
These two say read only, but since it is an output tab, a better description is reserved for future use.
5. Expand the plus next to node 2. Several revisions ago (RSNetWorx for DeviceNet V3.21) the ability to view I/O details from the Input and Output windows was added into the software. From the Input and Output windows, you can view detailed I/O information for each device in the scanlist of a DeviceNet scanner. To view the I/O details for a particular device, click the plus sign (+) located to the left of the device. If a plus sign is not displayed, there are not any I/O details for that device. This feature is driven by each devices EDS file.
B-23
6. Select Output Value #1 and notice the exact location of that bit is displayed. You can easily tell that Output Value #1 is in byte 2, bit 1 (see the highlighted portion of byte 2). This information will make it very easy to write your ladder logic later.
You uploaded the scanlist and looked at the input and output data. Now you are about to save this information to your hard disk. 7. Click OK (not cancel) to close this window.
Click OK and not Cancel to close the window.
B-24
8.
From the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet main menu, select File>Save. You must save your work before moving on.
IMPORTANT
Now all the information is saved in the file SubnetADNX.dnt.
Navigate Between Networks

A nice feature of RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is the easy way it lets you commission the Subnet. You can have two DeviceNet projects because there are actually two DeviceNet networks. Another nice feature of RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is the easy way it lets you navigate between two related networks rather than having to keep track of which network file goes with what. RSNetWorx for DeviceNet provides an easy way to associate two networks that will allow quick navigation between them. You will look at that now. 1. Double click on the 1738-ADNX icon to pull up its properties page.
B-25
2. Select the Device Bridging tab. The following window opens.
This window lets you define a file that is associated with this one through the 1738-ADNX. Once you specify the associated file, you will be able to jump to that file through a menu selection from the 1738-ADNX. The file you need to associate in this case is the MainNetworkADNX.dnt project file you created earlier. 3. Click the Associate File button. 4. Make sure you are looking in the Networks folder in the path shown below.
5. Select MainNetworkADNX.dnt then the Open button. The MainNetworkADNX.dnt file will appear in the File box as shown below.
6. Click OK to close the properties window.

B-26
7.
From the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet main menu, select File>Save. Now you can observe how you would switch networks.
Switch Between Networks

1. Move the cursor over the 1738-ADNX in the network browse window. 2. Press the right mouse button. 3. Click Associated Network from the menu.
If prompted to save your changes, you must select Yes (you will probably not get this prompt if you saved earlier).
To get back to the main network, associate the SubnetADNX.dnt project to MainNetworkADNX.dnt using the following steps: 4. Double click on the 1738-ADNX adapter at Node 16. 5. Click the Device Bridging tab.
B-27
6. Click Associate File to associate the SubnetADNX.dnt file to the main network.
7. Press OK (not cancel) to save the association. Now that they are associated, you can easily jump between the main network and the Subnet and vice versa. Another advantage is that the main network has access to the information saved in Subnet.dnt. 8. Click the Online icon.
9. If prompted to save, click Yes. 10. At the prompt, click OK. 11. Let the browse finish then double click on the 1756-DNB icon to pull up its properties. 12. Click the Module tab and if prompted choose Upload.
B-28
13. Change the slot number to 3 (see illustration below) so it matches the 1756-DNBs location in the 1756-Rack. Then click the Scanlist tab.
2. Scanlist tab
1. Slot Number
B-29
14. Select the 1738-ADNX and then used the single right arrow key to add it to your scanlist. Notice that you did not get the error message that you received earlier, when you were told that the 1738-ADNX ArmorPoint I/O DeviceNet Adapter does not contain any I/O data. When you selected the Edit I/O Parameters button, you found that no values were filled in the Input and Output fields. Now that you have looked at the Subnet, saved the information, and associated the main network with the Subnet, most of the information is now available from the main network.
You might have more nodes on your DeviceNet Network, but only add the 1738-ADNX to the scanlist as shown here.
Click to add available devices to scanlist.
Click to download to the scanner. Edit I/O Parameters button.
15. Select the 1738-ADNX in the Scanlist and then click Edit I/O Parameters.
B-30
Notice the fields have been filled in for you.

The values match what was observed earlier.
Values observed earlier.
The 1756-DNB scanner will be receiving 12 bytes of data that the 1738-ADNX produces. The 1756-DNB scanner will be outputting 3 bytes of data that the 1738-ADNX consumes such as the 1738-OB4EM12 outputs. Sometimes it is easy to get confused and reverse the numbers if these values are entered manually (in this case, entering incorrectly input size = 3 and output size = 12). It is a nice feature that RSNetWorx for DeviceNet fills these values in for you. On the main network, the 1738-ADNX is acting as an adapter so it is producing those twelve bytes of data for the 1756-DNB. You are now configuring the 1756-DNB, so those twelve bytes get filled for Input Size as shown above. 16. Click Cancel to close the Edit I/O Parameters window.

17. Click the Input tab and expand the plus sign next to the 1738-ADNX.
Expand the plus sign
If your mapping does not exactly match this screen, you may need to contact a Rockwell support engineer before moving on.
B-32
Now select the Output tab and find the bit for Output Value #1 on the 1734-OB4EM12. It should be 3:O.Data[0].17 as shown below. (NOTE: Hold your cursor in the box above the highlighted area to cause the last number to display.)
You are now ready to write your RSLogix5000 program. 18. Click Apply. 19. Click Yes when prompted to download these changes to the device.
20. Click OK to close the 1756-DNB Output window. 21. Exit RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. This is not a necessary step, but it will show you that RSLogix5000 can launch RSNetWorx for DeviceNet

Appendix
Rules and Guidelines For the 1738-ADNX
RULE 1: A DeviceNet Subnet may not bridge directly to another DeviceNet Subnet. A 1738-ADNX may not be used on the Subnet of another 1738-ADNX. NOTE: The 1738-ADNX will fault and report an error with any attempt to route message beyond the Subnet. It is not possible, therefore, to send explicit messages or browse through two 1738-ADNX adapters in series or through one 1738-ADNX and a network bridge device (or similar device) in series. RULE 2: The aggregate sum of the primary DeviceNet trunk and its tributary Subnets cannot exceed the primary DeviceNet trunk scanners I/O table size. The primary DeviceNet trunk scanner is the primary scanner, which provides data directly to the controller that owns the ArmorPoint I/O modules. For a complete list of scanners, refer to the RA Knowledgebase, Document # G32941961. RULE 3: The 1738-ADNX Subnet is subject to all of the rules of ODVA requirements for DeviceNet compliant devices. RULE 4: A DeviceNet Subnet may not bridge to any other network. Network is defined in this case as any communication link that is transmitting information from multiple devices to a single channel for further processing and transmission onto a separate network. A 1791D CompactBlock I/O module can be used on the Subnet of a 1738-ADNX, the other ArmorPoint DeviceNet adapters (1738-ADN12, -ADN18, and -ADN18P) cannot be used on the Subnet. RULE 5: The 1738-ADNX DeviceNet Subnet is comprised of the adapter (always MACID 0), any backplane I/O modules and ODVA compliant devices attached to the lower DeviceNet connector. RULE 6: The 1738-ADNX DeviceNet Subnet must be terminated, like any other DeviceNet network, according to ODVA specifications. RULE 7: The EDS parameter, Max Backplane MACID must be set so that it is not lower than that of any backplane modules. If no backplane modules are used, this value can be set to be 0, allowing modules 1-63 to be attached to the Subnet using DeviceNet cable. RULE 8: Backplane modules are always addressed in increasing order from left to right. Gaps in the backplane addressing are permitted. Empty slots in the backplane are NOT permitted.

C-2
Rules and Guidelines For the 1738-ADNX
RULE 9: Subnet modules not on the backplane must always have or be assigned MACIDs higher than those of the backplane modules. RULE 10: Power must be supplied for non-backplane Subnet modules. The 1738-ADNX supplies only 5V dc power to the backplane ArmorPoint I/O modules, and 24V dc power to the non-backplane modules via the auxiliary power connector, pins 2 and 3. RULE 11: The 1738-ADNX connection sizes may have to be manually entered into the primary DeviceNet network scanner devices scanlist (1756-DNB, 1747-SDN, etc.). Those connection sizes can be read from the EDS parameters 8-11 or deduced from the 1738-ADNX adapters Subnet I/O mapping. RULE 12: Explicit message requests will not transmit from the Subnet to the primary DeviceNet trunk. For example, a laptop computer connected to the Subnet with RSLinx will not be able to browse onto the primary DeviceNet. RULE 13: Any master connected to the Subnet cannot own a ArmorPoint I/O module on the 1738-ADNX backplane. RULE 14: The 1738-ADNX does not autobaud on the Subnet.
