DeviceNet Overview
Introduction
DeviceNet is an open, global industry-standard communication
network. It is designed to provide an interface from a programmable
controller through a single cable directly to smart devices such as
sensors, push buttons, motor starters, simple operator interfaces and
drives.
Features
The Ultra5000 Drive with DeviceNet Interface provides the following
features:
• Ultra5000 Drive with DeviceNet implements the Unconnected
Message Manager (UCMM) which is used to establish a Group 3
Explicit Message connection. Up to five Group 3 Explicit Messaging
connections can be established.
• Faulted-node Recovery, allows the node address of a device to be
changed even when it is faulted on the network. This feature
requires the support of proper PC software tools and the Node
Address (0-63, PGM) switches be set to the PGM (program)
position.
• Software configuration lets you configure the Ultra5000 Drive with
DeviceNet using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet (3.00.01 or later, version
3.00 with Service Pack 1).
• Autobaud allows the drive to determine the network data rate.
Note: User programs and files cannot be loaded to the Ultra5000 drive
over DeviceNet.
Parameters and Electronic
Data Sheet
The Ultra5000 with DeviceNet contains a set of parameters that are
used to configure and monitor the drive. You can perform
configuration by changing the values associated with individual
parameters. Parameter values may be written and read via DeviceNet.
Writing a value to a parameter may configure drive operations such as
the acceleration or deceleration rates. Writing a value to a parameter
may also configure DeviceNet operations such as which input and
output assemblies are to be used for I/O communications with a
master (scanner). The parameter set is documented in Programming
Reference beginning on page 4-1.
