Devicenet setup
 

The devicenet Items used to wire up the sensors and actuators for the system were

3 - 4 pin photoswitches
1 - devicenet capable photoswitch
2- ADN Flex I/O racks
    4 - relay output cards
    2 - sourcing input cards
    1- sinking input card
1- 8 input / 8 output armorblock
1- Devicenet Powertap
1- Devicenet Devicebox
3- Power supplies (1 for each ADN rack, One for Devicenet)
Required cables

The interfacing for the above went as follows:


 

Devicenet configuration steps:

1-Wire all sensors and modules you intend to use (Don't forget to power ADN modules)

2-Run RSnetworx for devicenet and browse the network for available devices

3-Double-click the PCIDS card to map the memory locations for your inputs and outputs
    (Write these down)

4-Click the small black circle in the start bar to start the softlogix engine, click config... on teh window  that pops up, then "start softlogix 5 engine" , close the window and open RSlogix 5sl.

5-Once in the ladder logic program, double-click "processor staus" in the left hand window, then tab over in the resulting dialog box until you see the DNET tab.  Enter 9, 10, and 11 for output, input, and status, click OK.

6- Click "go online", then "run", from this pouint you should be able to monitor all of your inputs and activate all of your inputs manually from the control computer by changing the bitwise memory assigned to devicenet.

7-At this point you are ready to begin programming your ladder logic as if using a regular PLC5 controller.
