Configure
193-DNCT Handheld Configuration Device, Revision 2.1 or Later
The 193-DNCT DeviceNet configuration terminal is a handheld device that can configure, program,
retrieve historical data, and monitor DeviceNet components, while directly connected to the network.
Commissioning is made simple with the capability to upload, store, and download complete device
configurations, while online with the network. This tool also aides in troubleshooting by providing
physical layer diagnostics and network bandwidth statistics.

Node Commissioning on Your DeviceNet Network

Once the DeviceNet media and/or cabling system is installed, you need to assign a unique node
number, between 0 and 63, to every device on the DeviceNet network. You can do this by setting the
rotary or dip switches or by using the Node Commission function via software or a handheld device.
Set each device on the network to the same communication rate: 125, 250, 250, or 500 Kbps.

Important: The factory default for each device is 125 Kbps, set to node number 63 with autobaud
enabled.

Starting the 193-DNCT Terminal

Attach and connect the 193-DNCT terminal to the DeviceNet network. This display appears for
10 seconds.

Baud = Fixed Baud Rate Actual Terminal Node Address

Auto = Autobaud
AB

DEVICENET HIM
Baud: 125K Auto: 62

Actual Baud Rate Adrs = Fixed HIM Mac ID

Auto = Auto Addressing

Important: The DeviceNet configuration terminal is shipped so that when it is placed on a

DeviceNet network for the first time, it automatically sets its baud rate to that of the
traffic on the network. Auto Addressing automation assigns an unused network node
address to the terminal.

After 10 seconds, a Network Who dialog box similar to the one shown below appears with all nodes
and associated devices on the network.

NETWORK WHO Node: 43

0 -- DeviceNet Scanner
2 -- 100-DNY42
5 -- E1 Plus
6 -- Parker Valve
7 -- E1 Plus
8 – 100-DNY42

Notice that the node number in the upper right corner constantly changes. This shows the node number
that the 193-DNCT terminal is currently scanning during the active network browse it is performing.
If the Network Who dialog box does not appear after 10 seconds, the 193-DNCT terminal is set to
Autobaud Enabled and cannot determine a communication rate as no communication is currently
occurring on the network.
Follow these steps to disable Autobaud.

1. On the 193-DNCT keypad, press ESC .

2. Select AutoBaud and press the <Up Arrow> to choose Disable.

Create the 1756-DNB and 1769-SDN Scanlist by Using AutoScan

The DeviceNet network AutoScan feature allows a scanner to automatically map a network of slave
devices into its scanlist without the use of RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. This greatly improves
the ease of setting up a DeviceNet network, especially networks comprised of simple devices.
When you enable AutoScan, the 1756-DNB or 1769-SDN scanner module searches for devices on the
network that are not yet mapped. Once a qualifying device is found, the scanner adds the device to its
scanlist and maps its I/O data into a predefined location in the scanner’s I/O memory table. This
location is based on the device’s node address and the mapping size.
AutoScan is not enabled initially. You must enable AutoScan so that devices are automatically added to
the scanlist whenever the scanner module is in Idle mode. The mapping size provides the scanner
module with the number of bytes per node to allocate in the I/O tables. Set the mapping size so that it is
higher than the maximum input or output size of every device on the network. If a device found on the
network has an input or output size larger than the mapping size you set, it will not be added to the
scanlist.
In this example, the mapping size is set to 32 bytes per node. The 193-DNCT terminal configures and
originates AutoScan from a special menu, created specifically for that purpose.

1. Turn the key on the front of the 1756-L63 controller (in slot 2) completely clockwise.

This puts the ControlLogix controller into Program mode, which also puts the scanner module into
Idle mode.

2. In the Network Who dialog box, press the Up Arrow to navigate to and select the first line
(0 – 1756-DNB DeviceNet Scanner).

3. Press Enter to go to its configuration dialog box.

4. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select Scanner and press Enter .

5. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select AutoScan and press Enter .

This AutoScan Setup dialog box appears.

AutoScan Setup
AutoScan: Disable
Mapping: 32
Idle Mode
Active Nodes: 0

6. If AutoScan is selected and set to Disable, press the Up Arrow to change to Enable.

7. Press SEL to select Mapping and press 3, 2, and then Enter .

8. Press SEL and then Enter to save your changes.

AutoScan begins and the Active Nodes value increments. When the value reaches a node count
of 6, AutoScan is finished and found all 6 nodes on the network.

9. Select AutoScan and press the Up Arrow to change to Disable.

10. Press SEL twice and then press Enter to save your changes.
AutoScan is disabled in the scanner.

11. Press ESC three times to return to the Network Who dialog box on the 193-DNCT terminal.

12. Turn the key on the front of the 1756-L63 controller (in slot 2) completely counter-clockwise.

This puts the ControlLogix controller back into Run mode, which will also put the scanner module
into Run mode, provided that the scanner run bit is set by the logic or data table.

View the I/O Mapping Information

Once all of the devices have been added to the scanlist via AutoScan, you can check the I/O data
mapping that was generated by AutoScan. The 193-DNCT terminal can view the input and output data
sizes along with the input and output data mapping assignments for each device.

1. In the Network Who dialog box, press the Up Arrow to navigate to and select the first line
(0 – 1756-DNB DeviceNet Scanner).

2. Press Enter to go to its configuration dialog box.

3. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select Scanner and press Enter .

4. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select ScanList and press Enter .

5. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select 5 – E1 Plus and press Enter .
A dialog box appears with the mapping details of the E1 Plus devices scanlist entry. You can
temporarily disable the 1756-DNB scanner scanlist entry.

6. Press SEL to select Mapping.

This entry lets you modify the size of the native data location for the controller you are using.
For example, the Logix-based controllers use a 32 bit Dword for each location in their data table
while some other controllers may use only a 16 bit word. Depending on the native data size of the
controller you are using, you may need to modify this entry, to accurately view the data mapping
assignments for a device in the scanlist.
• The input mapping line displays an 8 to signify an input size of 8 bytes of data going back to
the scanner.
• The next line displays D40:0 --- D41:31 to signify that the data starts at Dword 40, bit 0 of
the input table and continues contiguously to Dword 41, bit 31. Therefore the mapping takes
two complete, 32 bit, Dword locations in the data table. The output mapping line displays a 1
to signify an output size of 1 byte of data coming from the scanner.
• The last line displays D40:0 --- D40:7 to signify that the data starts at Dword 40, bit 0 of the
output table and continues contiguously to Dword 40, bit 7.

7. Press the Down Arrow to change the mapping value.

Notice the effect this change has on the mapping details.

8. Press ESC four times to return to the Network Who dialog box on the 193-DNCT terminal.

Example: Configure the E1 Overload

With your fully wired and operational network, there is usually some configuration required for one or
more of the devices, including how the device will behave on the DeviceNet network or how the device
will act as its main function. The 193-DNCT terminal can configure and monitor parameters in the
devices connected to the network. In this example, the 193-DNCT terminal changes the OverLoad
Warning Level parameter in the E1 Plus overload unit.

1. In the Network Who dialog box, press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select 5 – E1 Plus.

2. Press Enter to go to the E1 Plus configuration dialog box.

3. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select Params and press Enter .

Device parameters can be viewed by Groups of similar functions or as a Numerical Listing.

4. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select Num List and press Enter .

The 193-DNCT terminal now displays parameter 1, the Average %FLA parameter.

Important: Additional information is provided at the bottom of the display for each parameter
display, including the parameter description (that scrolls continuously), minimum and
maximum values, and if the parameter is read only.

5. Press 1, then 7, and press Enter to display parameter 17 (the OL Warning Level configuration).
The OL Warning Level parameter 17 displays with a value of 80%.

6. Press the SEL , then press 9, 0, and Enter to change the value to 90%.
Notice how the configuration value changes to 90% on the display. This value was actually written
to the E1 Plus and has been stored into nonvolatile memory within the device.

Maintain
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
The 193-DNCT terminal has some diagnostics built in that can be used to troubleshoot a DeviceNet
network. These diagnostics include bus voltages, bandwidth utilization percentage, and CAN error
counts.

1. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to Node 62 This DeviceNet HIM.

2. Press Enter to select the HIM.

3. Press the Down Arrow to navigate to and select the Network group and press Enter .
This dialog box, with similar values, appears on the 193-DNCT terminal.

Baud Rate: 125K

Bus Voltage: 23.90
Bus Voltage Hi: 24.02
Bus Voltage Low: 23.81
Bus % Load: 9.4
Max Bus % Load 16.9
CAN Errors/Sec: 0

The Max Bus % Load and CAN Errors/Sec parameters are not easily measured by other means
and are valuable for troubleshooting the network. The Max Bus % Load parameter shows the
maximum network bandwidth that has ever been used. If this value goes too high, communication
anomalies could occur on the network due to devices being ‘starved’ for bandwidth. The CAN
Errors/Sec parameter is generated if packets are being corrupted on the network, such as due to
electrical noise or a bad device. This value, which should be zero on a healthy network, is a good
barometer of the general health of the DeviceNet packet-delivery mechanism.
