Configure the Service Code, Class, Instance, and Attribute per the requirement of section 3.2.4 of the Siemens document DeviceNet Option Module Operating Instructions (6SE6400-5BC00-0BP0). For the Source Element use the ReadRequest tag that was configured earlier. The Source Element will contain the read request, the parameter number, and the parameter index. The total request will be 4 bytes long. For the Destination, use the ReadResponse tag that was created earlier. This will hold the response value from the MicroMaster. 8. Next click the Communication tab. Select the Browse button to browse for the message communications path. Select the DeviceNet Scanner module. Type the suffix,2,3 after the name of the DeviceNet card so that the text is DeviceNetScanner,2,3. DeviceNetScanner is the name of the DeviceNet Scanner card entered during hardware configuration. This value will change according to the name in the DeviceNet Scanner module properties. The value "2" is required. It is the numeric representation of the DeviceNet communications port on the module. This value is always 2. The value "3" is the node address of the MicroMaster. This value will change based upon the node address that has been set for the MicroMaster. One important note, DO NOT CHECK the Connection check box. If it is checked, the read request WILL NOT function. Version V1.1 Issue 10.01.2009 45/52

9. Select the OK button to apply the configuration. 10. Next download the program to the controller. Note that the communications are offline for the download. Runtime edits can also be made. 11. Confirm the Download operation. 12. Once the download completes, confirm placing the controller back in Run Mode by selecting the Yes button. Version V1.1 Issue 10.01.2009 46/52

13. Vertically Tile the Logic Window and the Controller Tag window. 14. Write the read request data into the ReadRequest tag. Note that the data is BYTE SWAPPED as stated in the Siemens manual. 15. Once this is done, set the Read tag to "1" to enable the MSG block. 16. Note in the ladder logic status that the Done (DN) bit is set indicated that the read request worked. In the Read Response tag, the values returned are hex "C4 43 d0 00 00 00". The "C4 63" is a valid response to the parameter read request. The data is byte swapped. It corresponds to the expected response from section 3.2.4 of the Siemens manual. The actual value is hex "00 d0" which in decimal is 208. This MicroMaster has firmware version 2.08. The last 2 bytes, "00 00", are the index value. This value is always zero. NOTE You can watch a Flash animation of this operation. To start the animations, follow the instructions in chapter 4, and select "Create Read Logic" from the menu. Version V1.1 Issue 10.01.2009 47/52

3.3.17 Create Logic for Writing PKWs Table 3-17 This example for writing MicroMaster parameters is from section 3.2.5 of the Siemens manual. Parameter P1203, "Flying Start", will be set to a value of "99". 1. The logic is very similar to the "Read PKW" logic. 2. As defined in section 3.2.5 of the Siemens manual, the service code is different for the write command. 3. The communications path is still the same. Version V1.1 Issue 10.01.2009 48/52

4. Write commands are similar to the read commands. The following screen capture shows the write to P1203 example from section 3.2.5 of the Siemens manual. Note the values in the write response tag and the Done (DN) bit on the output of the MSG instruction. NOTE 3.3.18 Conclusion You can watch a Flash animation of this operation. To start the animations, follow the instructions in chapter 4, and select Verify Write Operation from the menu. This application example has shown the basic requirements for cyclic data exchange and acyclic reading and writing to/from a Siemens MicroMaster drive and a Rockwell (Allen Bradley) ControlLogix Controller using DeviceNet. The concepts presented here should be applicable to other Siemens DeviceNet products. Version V1.1 Issue 10.01.2009 49/52
