the menu prompt and new point entry string will vary depending on the 
secondary network.  A similar menu prompt when a Modbus secondary 
network is chosen would be displayed as “

> 2 [ID num] [reg num]

”, and 

its corresponding new point entry string would therefore be something to the 
effect of “

1 3 15

”, which would add a point that maps a DeviceNet parameter 

to Modbus device ID #3, holding register #15. 
 

 

Figure 20: Adding a New Point 

 
Note that the entry and display radix of the secondary network data object 
depends on the chosen secondary network.  For example, entering a “param 
num” of 10 when the Toshiba ASD secondary network is selected will map the 
DeviceNet parameter to ASD parameter 0x10 (16

10

).  However, entering a “reg 

num” of 10 when the Modbus secondary network is selected will map the 
DeviceNet parameter to holding register 10

10

 (0x0A).  These radices are 

chosen based on the “natural radix” defined for each secondary-network 
protocol.  For more information on the natural radices of the available 
secondary networks, refer to section 14.2. 
 
Once the new point has been added to the point list, its attributes must be 
configured by using the View/Edit a Point menu selection (refer to section 
13.5.1.1).  When a point is created, its attributes are set to default values, and 
you will probably want to change these values to more accurately reflect the 
point’s true characteristics.
