Filling a Prepared Space in a MV Controller
Line-up with DeviceNet
General Use this section when upgrading a Bulletin 1500 prepared space in a
DeviceNet MV controller with a controller kit. Each DeviceNet
component is factory wired within the controller kit and has a
communication cable that plugs into the device on one end and the other
end plugs into a DeviceNet port located on the flat vertical cable
assembly mounted on the left side of the low voltage panel. The
procedure varies depending on whether the controller kit is to fill the top
or bottom location of a 2-unit structure.
Note:
There is no need to re-evaluate the cumulative drop for this
network. The incremental increase in cumulative drop due to the
addition of the controller kit was taken into account when the MV
controller line-up was built.
Note:
When using IntelliCENTER software, new units must be added to
the software by installing the data disk(s) that accompanies the controller
kit. If an existing unit is moved, the user must update this change in the
IntelliCENTER software. Refer to IntelliCenter software manual,
pubication 2100-UM002_-EN-P.
Procedure for Top Unit
Note:
This procedure requires the bottom unit to be temporarily
disconnected from DeviceNet.
The prepared space does not have any DeviceNet connections. In order
to link the bottom unit to the DeviceNet network, a round cable was
factory installed between a port in the trunk line located in the top
horizontal wireway and a port in the bottom low voltage panel (see
Figure 8.1). This cable must be unplugged at both ends and removed in
order to install and connect the controller kit to the network.
Each end of the vertical flat cable assembly on the low voltage panel of
the kit has a port to which a round cable is connected. The round cables
are provided with a 5-terminal connector on their loose end. Once the
controller kit has been installed, the DeviceNet connections may be
completed. Connect the round cable at the top of the low voltage panel
to the closest port on the trunk line located in the horizontal wireway (see
Figure 8.2). Then connect the round cable at the bottom of the low
voltage panel to the port located at the top of the bottom low voltage
panel.
