This chapter provides information about how to configure a SmartGuard

controller and POINT Guard I/O modules by using USB (Universal Serial Bus)
connectivity. Refer to the corresponding RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software
help files for network-configurator operating procedures.
TIP For information about RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, from the Help
menu, choose RSNetWorx Help.

Before You Begin Be sure you have these required items:

• RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software
Cat. No. Required Version
1734-IB8S, 1734-OB8S 9 or later
1734-IE4S 10 or later

• RSLinx® software, version 2.51 or later

• SmartGuard USB driver
The SmartGuard USB driver should already be in your RSLinx software. If
it is not, load the driver onto your computer, noting the folder location as
you need to browse to it later.
• Personal computer with a Microsoft Windows 2000,
Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Server, or Microsoft Windows XP
operating system
• 1734-PDN adapter
• SmartGuard controller and POINT Guard I/O module EDS files

Set the Node Address Use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to set the node address of POINT
Guard I/O modules. The module has an out-of-box preset node address of 63.
We suggest that you connect and set the modules one at a time. Otherwise, the
address conflicts (all of them at 63) will prevent communication with some of the
modules.

IMPORTANT The unique identifier for a safety node is a combination of the safety network
number (SNN) and node address. When the SNN is set, the current node
address is used to generate and store this identifier in flash memory. Once the
identifier is set, for safety reasons, the node address cannot be changed
unless specific action is taken to reset the POINT Guard I/O module’s SNN. For
this reason, you are required to set the node address prior to
applying a SNN.

Follow these steps to set the node address with the node commissioning tool.

1. Choose Start>Programs>Rockwell Software>RSNetWorx>DeviceNet

Node Commissioning Tool.

3. Check ‘I want to input the address for the device on the selected network’.
4. Browse to the DeviceNet network, being sure to not click OK when the
browse is complete.
If you are unable to browse the DeviceNet network and see the POINT
Guard modules, the modules may have been previously configured to an
incompatible data rate or node address. Attempt to add these modules on
an isolated network to determine the node address and data rate.
5. Enter the current address for the device.

An out-of-box device uses address 63.

6. Click OK

7. Enter the new address for the device.

8. Click Apply.
9. Look for confirmation in the messages section.

Auto-addressing with a With sequential auto-addressing, the leftmost node address is configured and a
parameter is set in that module to automatically assign addresses to the nodes
1734-PDN Adapter residing to the right of the module. The leftmost node can be a
POINT Guard I/O module or a standard POINT I/O module.

Follow these steps to use the auto-address feature.

1. Reset any modules that you are not sure are out-of-box.
2. Attach the first module to the 1734-PDN adapter.
3. Use the node commissioning tool to set the node address of this module.
4. Attach the additional nodes to the right of the module used in
steps 2 and 3.
5. Perform the auto-address feature on the module used in steps 2 and 3.
A. Set the address of the leftmost I/O module.

B. When you configure the leftmost module, set Sequential AutoAddress to

‘Sequential Address’.

The module sequences the rest of the

modules to its right in the group.

Set Up Your DeviceNet Before you begin to design a project with RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software,
follow these procedures.
Network
1. From RSLinx software, open RSWho and select the SmartGuard driver.
RSWho browses the DeviceNet network connected to the SmartGuard
controller.
In this example, three POINT Guard I/O modules are connected to the
SmartGuard controller.

If RSLinx software finds the nodes on the DeviceNet network,

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software also finds the nodes.
2. Open RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
3. From the Networks menu, choose Online.

4. Select the SmartGuard driver and click OK.

5. Click OK.
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software finds the SmartGuard and POINT
Guard I/O modules on the DeviceNet network.

6. Click the online icon again to go offline.

Configure the POINT Guard From the Safety Configuration tab, you can configure the module’s safety inputs
and outputs.
