X20BC0053 deviceNet I/O with AB system

Dear Community,
I’m new with Device net system.
The AllenBradley PLC system cannot find X20BC0053 in their network.
I’ve check on datasheet it doesn’t mention much about how to operate this module.

Is there a software configuration tools for BC0053?
Or it’s just auto reconfiguration then plug and play to the DeviceNet?
Would be great if you can lead me to the operating manual of X20BC0053

Thank you

Hello Naronglit,

The software configuration tool for the X20BC0053 is the DeviceNet configuration tool for your DeviceNet scanner. In the case of an AB PLC, it will be RSNetWorx for DeviceNet.

You need the X20BC0053 EDS package to import into RSNetWorx, link below. Choose how you want to configure the module (linear or modular) and import those EDS file(s). Then configure in the software.

I’ve attached the Getting Started documentation for DeviceNet (the latest I have).

The Omron getting started guide is only useful if you don’t have an AB PLC. Including for completeness.
