SLC 5/04 and 1747-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Configuration:
1: Install EDS
The WI-GTWY-9-DE1 has an associated EDS file (Electronic Data Sheet) – this file is supplied
with the WI-GTWY-9-DE1 on the Product-CD or can be downloaded from the web site. The
Rockwell Software suite has an EDS Hardware Installation Tool, simply run the tool and browse to
the WI-GTWY-9-DE1 EDS file. Once loaded, the EDS file will allow the Rockwell equipment to
recognise the WI-GTWY-9-DE1.
2. Setup RSLinx to use 1770KFD
For the example, we use the 1770-KFD DeviceNet/RS232 interface to enable communications with
the DeviceNet network via the PC RS232 port. This device must be setup via RSLinx.
Open RSLinx and choose “Configure Drivers”. Select the 1770-KFD from the “Available Driver
Types” drop-down list as shown in the screenshot below.
Next press “Add New”, select the 1770-KFD and press next. Finally select the appropriate Com port
and serial parameters.
Once added, ensure the driver is running. Highlight the driver and press “start” if necessary.
