LT Type-D DeviceNet Master Setup Instructions:

1. Install GP-Pro C-Package 03 (ver. 7.0 or later) AND install the add-on for DeviceNet Master - note where the DeviceNet manuals are found for future reference.
1. The DeviceNet add-on is a separate installation found embedded in the C-Package 03 software.
1. Open the GP-Pro Installation CD in Windows Explorer
2. Go to FEILDBUS/DeviceNet/Setup.exe
3. Click on "Install DeviceNet Master" and follow the steps to install the add-on.


2. Get the manual for the slave device(s).
1. If it is not included with the I/O, most manufacturers have the manuals on their websites.
2. Go to the I/O manufacturer's website, download the .eds file(s)
3. If the company offers DeviceNet configuration software, download and install it.


3. Copy the .eds file(s) (from Step I.) into the EDS folder (Normally C:\Program Files\Pro-face\EDSFiles\DeviceNet)



4. Open a new project in the GP-Pro Project Manager.
1. Select GP Type - LT Series, LT Type D.


5. Make a simple project and download it to the LT - this loads the DeviceNet drivers into the LT firmware. If this is not done, you can not scan the DeviceNet network.
1. Before downloading for the first time, go to Transfer/Setup/Transfer Settings and make sure the following are selected:
1. GP System Screen (should be left checked at all times)
2. Send all screens (should be checked for first download and whenever a major change is made to the LT)
3. Force System Setup (use on first download and anytime the LT gives system errors. This takes a significant amount of extra time to download. It can be left on Automatic Setup most of the time)


6. Connect LT & slave(s) on the DeviceNet network
1. Assemble the slave(s)
2. Make sure LT is Type D - DeviceNet Master. LT Type D Installation Guide
3. Set up wiring & power supply
4. Don't need I/O wired at this point.


7. Scan with LT, and find the slave information.
1. How to scan : See LT Type D User Manual pg. 9


8. Transfer all information into the Config I/O window.
1. Open Control Editor/Data/Configure I/O
2. Double click on MAC ID:1 (The Master is always MAC ID 0)
3. If an .eds file was copied for this manufacturer's I/O into the DeviceNet folder (see Step III.) you will be able to select the vendor and device here. After selecting, verify that the rest of the data in this window match what was scanned by the LT. Change anything in the GP-Pro software to match what the LT screen shows.
4. If you don't have an .eds file, you need to enter the data manually.
5. If UCMM shows as yes, select group 3.
6. Concerning I/O Information:
1. The scan will tell you how many Input Bytes and how many Output Bytes your I/O configuration has. You need to enter the number of terminals.
2. If you choose discreet mapping, there will be 8 terminals per byte.
3. If you choose word mapping, there will be 1 terminal for 2 bytes.
4. Each node has a maximum of 48 terminals.
7. Expected Packet Rate: set to 250
8. Production Inhibit Time: set to 10


9. With the bytes and the manufacturer's manual determine order of the bytes in the slave.
1. Check I/O you have and how many bytes
2. Check what order the bytes show up in
3. Some bytes may be for diagnostic purposes or other uses.


10. Set any path variables required to configure the slave (see slave manual)



11. Assign variables to the I/O terminals you want to use based on the map in Step VIII(F)



12. Develop your project as you would using any other I/O.
