Connecting to the CX-Programmer via the DeviceNet Section 7-1
2. Double-click on the node address (#) that you want to change, or select the
node address and click on the Edit Button. A dialogue box like the one be-
low will appear.
3. Input the value, then click on the OK Button.
Note To set the same value for all of the devices, select the node address-
es to be set, then click on Copy to All Device.
Note 1. The default setting for the message monitoring timer is 2,000 ms (2 s). If it
is used without being changed, a communications error will result when the
CX-Programmer is operated. The setting range is 500 to 30,000 ms. Set in
units of ms.
2. The message monitoring timer serves as a timeout monitor for message
communications (both explicit and FINS). Settings can be made for each
device to which messages are to be sent. When the response from the tar-
get device is slow, the setting value must be increased. This is often the
case when FINS messages are sent across networks, because the re-
sponse time is typically slow. However, when the setting is increased, sub-
sequent messages cannot be sent to the same device until it is finished
waiting for the response.
Whereas the DeviceNet Unit monitors the message time-out with this tim-
er, the CPU Unit monitors with the response monitor time set in the CMND/
SEND/RECV instruction. There is thus no effect when only one of them,
i.e., only the message monitoring timer or only the response monitor time
in the CMND/SEND/RECV instruction, is increased or decreased. Set the
