Keyence device definition


The task of device definition fits into the overall process as follows:

  1. Installing the PLC hardware.
    Your device and network installation will determine the devices that must be defined.
    The detailed installation of your hardware is beyond the scope of this documentation.
  2. Configuring the PLC hardware using the PLC programming tools.
    The entire capability and usage of the Keyence programming software is beyond the scope of this documentation.
  3. Installing the deviceWISE runtime software and Workbench.
    Refer to the appropriate Installing product software section for installation information.
  4. Ensure the node has the Keyence driver package installed and the required license to enable the Keyence driver functions.
    1. For information on how to add the Keyence driver package, refer to System Administration > Packages.
    2. For information on how to install a license, refer to System Administration > Licenses.
  5. Using the Workbench to define devices.
    This task is described in the following sections.

There might be differences between your Workbench windows and the example windows shown; however, the functional capabilities and logic flow will be similar.
