New HIDS Drum Scales!
Click Here to Learn More!Hardy Instruments HI 200DNWM, the HI 3000 series (which include the HI 3010, HI 3030, HI 3300, and HI 3600), and the HI 4000 series (which include the HI 4050 and HI 4060), can utilize DeviceNet.
If you are using the HI 200DNWM - in RS Networx for DeviceNet:
1. Select the scanner module device and insure the HI 200DNWM is included in the scanners scan list.
2. Insure the HI 200DNWM is mapped into the Input and Output tables of the scanner module. Note which word locations in these tables are for the 4 bytes of data for the HI 200DNWM. This is where the data will show up.
3. Open the DeviceNet scanner input data table in the processor and look at the data.
If you are using the HI 4000 series units (HI 4050 or HI 4060):
1. In the unit, either from the front panel or through the browser, set up the DeviceNet settings, to include the Baud rate, Node address, and number of bytes of data for both the Input and Output.
2. In RS Networx for DeviceNet, select the scanner module device and insure the HI 4000 unit is included in the scanners scan list.
3. Click on the HI 4000 unit in the scanlist, and then click on the "Edit I/O Parameters" button. This will open the parameters window.
4. Set the polled input size and output size for the HI 4000 unit. This should match the size set in the unit in step 1. Click ok.
5. Insure the HI 4000 unit is mapped into the Input and Output tables of the scanner module. The number of bytes should match the number of input/output bytes set up in previous step. Note which word locations within these tables are for the data for the HI 4000 unit. These are the locations where the data will show up.
6. Open the browser of the HI 4000 device and map data to the output table or from the input table. The number of bytes selected in step #1 will determine how many words are available to map to. These words will always start at word 0.
7. Open the DeviceNet input data in the processor and look at the data. You will need to know where in the scanners input table you mapped the device. For this example, let us say you set up the unit to have 8 bytes of data, and you mapped them starting at word 8 in the scanner modules input table. This means that our device data will start at word #8 in the scanner and the last word will be word #11 (assuming 16 bit word registers). If you mapped the gross weight into the DeviceNet, output word 0, then you should then see data in word #8 of the scanner table.
If you are using one of the HI 3000 series units (HI 3010, HI 3030, HI 3300 or the HI 3600), the instructions below are a paraphrased rendition of the instructions provided in the Installation and Operations Manuals. These are appropriate for setting DeviceNet communications in the HI 3000 series units.
1. In RS Networx for Device Net properties select the HI 3000 device you are working with. Under the module tab select the button for slave mode. This opens the selection for polled input and output size selection. Select the size of I/O tables you want (If you have 4 words, as an example, select 8 bytes). Accept this setting and exit the window.
2. Select the Input tab and insure you have these bytes mapped into the table. Without any of the above selection, you will not receive any data transferred. The word locations and order you mapped into this table are the word loca
