Overview
This manual describes the set-up and programming of the option. The option will allow
communication between a DeviceNet Communication Network and one drive.
To connect a drive to the DeviceNet network, the following materials will be necessary:
„ CM059 (SI-N1) option
„ CM059 (SI-N1) option Technical Manual
„ CM059 (SI-N1) option EDS Files (Found on www.yaskawa.com or CD.AFD7.01 included with the drive)
„ Drive User Manual (TM 4515, TM.F7.01, or TM.G7.01).
The DeviceNet Network
DeviceNet is a low-cost communications link to connect industrial devices (such as limit switches, photoelectric switches,
valve manifolds, motor starters, smart motor controllers, operator interfaces, and variable frequency drives) as well as control
devices (such as programmable controllers and computers) to a network. Figure 1 shows an example DeviceNet network.
DeviceNet is a simple, networking solution that reduces the cost and time to wire and install factory automation devices, while
providing interchangeability of “like” components from multiple vendors.
DeviceNet is an “open device network standard”. The specifications and protocol are open - vendors are not required to
purchase hardware, software, or licensing rights to connect devices to a system. Vendors who choose to participate may obtain
the set of specifications from the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA).
DeviceNet provides:
„ A cost effective solution to low-level device networking
„ Access to intelligence present in the devices
„ Master/Slave capabilities
DeviceNet has two primary purposes:
„ Transport of control-oriented information associated with the control/monitoring of devices
„ Transport of configuration parameters which are indirectly related to system control
