Hey All, I have a project coming up and it is a rushed one (thanks SI position). Quick backstory: I have been handling this plant since a month, the previous guy just up and quit, with very little backups whatsoever, and now I am responsible for the control systems side. I have a an existing DeviceNet network to which there will be additions. I do not have any experience with DeviceNet and thus require some experts to help me out. There will be four new devices that will be added to the network.
1. How do I upload the memory map from the scanner so I can compare against the logic that is built in ControlLogix. I created a *.dnt file from the network but it doesn't seem to have how the memory is mapped inside the scanner. When I create a memory map, all offline, and create the tags using the tag generator; it looks different than what the PLC is programmed to.
2. How do I create logic for just the 4 new devices that I am adding to the network using the DeviceNet tag generator? I don't want to screw with the existing as it is running fine and like I mentioned in the first question: the existing memory map logic that is created seems to be inconsistent when I create it using the tool.
I am probably missing a few questions, as I am super new to this. Any of you guys have any favourite documents that will help me? Thanks a ton!
