A CcnDevice is the parent for tables and points.
Prerequisites: You added a CcnNetwork to the station.
  1. To access CcnNetwork properties, expand Config > Drivers and double-click CcnNetwork.
    The Ccn Device Manager opens.
  2. Open the ccn palette.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Copy the CcnDevice component to the CcnNetwork node in the Nav tree.
    • Drag a CcnDevice from the palette to the manager.

  4. Give the device a name or use the default name and click OK.

  6. Configure at least Bus No and Elem No and click OK.
  7. Right-click the device and click Actions > Fetch.
    The driver retrieves additional device information, such as pic type, part no, model no, etc.

    The Status of a CcnDevice is either {ok} or, less typically, {fault}. The Health slot contains historical timestamp properties that record the last device transitions from {ok} to any other status. The Fault Cause property further explains any fault status.
