Grounding Considerations

ATTENTION:
• The grounding screw on the front of the scanner must be connected to a suitable ground source when operating in
electrically noisy environments. Use a 2.08 mm2 (14 AWG) wire to make this connection.
• This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure
proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are
poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately
every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
• This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. Additional
grounding connections from the scanner's mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used) are not required unless the mounting
surface cannot be grounded. Refer to the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1,
for additional information.

Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template

This procedure lets you use the assembled modules as a template for drilling holes
in the panel. Due to module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow
these procedures.

1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.

2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all
module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel by using the mounting screws.
7. Repeat these steps for any remaining modules.

DIN Rail Mounting The module can be mounted by using the following DIN rails: 35 x 7.5 mm
(EN 50022 - 35 x 7.5) or 35 x 15 mm (EN 50022 - 35 x 15).

Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the
DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will
momentarily open and lock into place. DIN rail mounting dimensions are shown

Set the Node Address of a 1769-ADN Module

The module supports DeviceNet node addresses 00...63. The factory default
setting is node address 63.

Set the node address by using the two rotary switches. Use a small, slotted
screwdriver to set the switches. The switch labeled MSD (Most Significant Digit)
sets the 10s while the switch labeled LSD (Least Significant Digit) sets the 1s.

Use the switches to select any network address from 00…63. Switch settings from
00…63 select node addresses 00…63. Switch settings from 64…99 instruct the
adapter to use the software programmed value for the network address.

Switch setting 95 is reserved for factory use in Series B adapters.

The software programmed value is set via the node commissioning tool available
in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software and stored in nonvolatile memory on the
1769-ADN.

Set the Node Address via the DeviceNet Node Commissioning Tool

You can use the DeviceNet node commissioning tool available in RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet software to set the node addresses of devices on the DeviceNet
network. Remember the following when you decide to use the DeviceNet node
commissioning tool.

• You can only use this tool with a DeviceNet network that is online.

• You can only use this tool as you add new devices to the network that
either do not have hardware mechanisms to set their node address or have
their hardware mechanism set to a number higher than 63.

If you add a device to the network with a hardware mechanism setting the
node address to 63 or lower, this tool does not change the device’s node
address.

• You should complete the tasks described in this section each time a new
device is added to the network.

• If you add more than one device to the online network before using the
DeviceNet node commissioning tool, you will experience duplicate node
address conflicts on the network because all new devices initially use node
address 63.

• Keep track of the node addresses you set with the DeviceNet node
commissioning tool and verify they match the device’s configuration in the
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software configuration file.

Complete the following steps to use the DeviceNet node commissioning tool to

default I/O structures. The controller automatically performs periodic updates of
the structures on a cyclic basis.

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software configures scan list map segments that are
used to copy specific portions of I/O data between the I/O structures and
DeviceNet network packets.

scanner module.

Rockwell Automation Publication DNET-IN001B-EN-P - January 2012 51

Appendix A 1756 DeviceNet Status Indicators and Data Structures

Input Structure

The controller receives input I/O by reading input data from an input structure
in the 1756-DNB scanner module. The scanner module receives input data from
DeviceNet modules and delivers a copy of these values to the controller. The
input structure consists of one 32-bit status register and a variable size 32-bit array
of up to 124 words for input data. The 32-bit status register reflects the current
state of several key module-level operational parameters.

The input structure consists of these data elements.

Input Structure Element Data Type

module status register 1 x 32-bit register
input_data 123 x 32-bit variable size data array

Output Structure

The controller controls output I/O by writing output data to an output structure
in the 1756-DNB scanner module. The scanner module then delivers a copy of
these output values to modules on the DeviceNet network. The output structure
consists of a 32-bit command register and a variable size 32-bit array of up to 123
words for output data. The 32-bit command register consists of several bits that
affect the module’s behavior on the network.

The output structure consists of these data elements.

Output Structure Element Data Type

module command register 1 x 32-bit register
output_data 123 x 32-bit data array

Status Structure

The controller receives status information concerning the 1756-DNB scanner

module’s ability to exchange DeviceNet messages with other nodes by reading
from the status structure in the 1756-DNB scanner module. The scanner module
periodically updates the contents of the status structure and copies its contents to
the controller. The status structure consists of several tables. The bit position of
each of the 64-bits that make up a given status table directly corresponds to the
node address of a device.

The status structure consists of these data elements.
