USB-to-DeviceNet Cable 5
Rockwell Automation Publication 1784-IN046D-EN-P - April 2011
These are the firmware variations:
• Cables with version 1.009 or later contain a fix for an anomaly whereby
timeouts could be experienced while monitoring parameters of some
devices. The initial installation of a 1784-U2DN USB-to-DeviceNet
cable will no longer cause the Windows operating system to report an
error code 10.
• Cables with version 1.008 or later have an explicit message size of 500
bytes, which allows uploading from a SmartGuard controller.

Follow these procedures to install the cable.
ATTENTION: Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can
cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these
guidelines when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when
not in use.
ATTENTION: USB connection length must be less than 3 m
(9.84 ft). Do not attempt to extend the cable.
