Outline of the Configurator Section 1-5
Main functions Setup functions Master device parameter settings for OMRON’s Master
• Remote I/O master allocations (with a scan list)
The node address order can be set as desired. Two output blocks and two input
blocks can be allocated. (See note.)
• Remote I/O slave allocations
• Setting master remote I/O communications connections
• Setting slave remote I/O communications connections
• Enabling or disabling device data checks through remote I/O communications
(checks on slave vendor ID, device type, and product code data)
• Setting an explicit message monitor timer list
• Setting a COS/cyclic heart beat timer value
• Setting the communications cycle time
Note 1. A device Parameter Wizard is supported for the Master.
2. Using remote I/O master allocations eliminate restrictions on node
addresses. Furthermore, a number of masters can be mounted to the PC
with no allocation area duplication.
Setting parameters for other manufacturers’ slaves (EDS file required).
Setting node addresses and baud rates
Monitoring func-
tions
• Listing information on devices connected to the network (in node address order or
remote I/O configuration order, for example)
• Monitoring Unit status data, Master function status data, and slave function status
data
• Monitoring Master error history
CVM1-DRM21-V1 or C200HW-DRM21-V1: Up to 20 records of time, error code,
and error condition data
CS1W-DRM21: Up to 64 records of time, error code, and error condition data
• Monitoring communication cycle time
Storage func-
tions
Saving offline device information prepared with master device parameters or online
network device information. Such data is saved as network configuration files.
Other functions • Reading/writing and preparing EDS files
• Checking for duplicate I/O allocations in master parameters
• Printing master/slave device parameters
• Installing Expansion Modules to expand functions
Files that can be written • Master parameter files (parameters for OMRON Master: 1 file per node)
Note Slave communications are saved as well in the master device parameters file
with the DeviceNet Unit.
• Slave device parameter files (parameters for slaves: 1 file per node)
• Network file (all master/slave parameters for masters/slaves in the device list: 1 file/
network)
• EDS file (DeviceNet device definition file: 1 file/device type)
