LOCAL Statement If the DeviceNet statements require changes, you can edit them through the Add/Edit Statement tool. For details, see Adding, Editing, or Removing a Statement on page 222. The following sections provide details on the DeviceNet statements and their parameters. LOCAL Statement The LOCAL statement in the DeviceNet configuration specifies the MAC ID of the Adept controller on the DeviceNet bus. The default setting is 0. Set the MAC ID so that all the nodes on the bus have different MAC IDs. This statement also defines the baud rate of the DeviceNet scanner.
The baud rate depends on multiple factors, such as the length of the DeviceNet cable, the DeviceNet components on the bus, etc. Syntax of the LOCAL statement: LOCAL = "/MACID local_id /BAUD baud_rate" ACE User's Guide, 3.6.x, 18316-000 Rev A Page 217 Parameter Description Range local id _ MACID for the Adept controller on the bus 0 - 63 baud rate _ The baud rate to be used on the DeviceNet 125K, 250K, or 500K
