IntelliCENTER technology improves the intelligence of
your MCC using built-in DeviceNet to capture information
used for predictive maintenance, process monitoring, and
advanced diagnostics.
Network
Based on the latest in network technology, DeviceNet is a
simple, open networking solution, allowing for real-time
control, data exchange, configuration and data connection
at regular intervals or on demand. This robust
communication link connects industrial devices (such as
limit switches, photoelectric sensors, motor starters, push
buttons, variable frequency drives and operator interface
devices) to a network and eliminates time-consuming and
costly hard wiring.
The cost and performance of a DeviceNet network makes
it ideal for MCC applications. The open specifications and
protocol, managed by the Open DeviceNet Vendor
Association (ODVA), means vendors are not required to
purchase hardware, software or licensing rights to connect
to a system. Over 300 vendors offer DeviceNet products
with over a half million nodes installed worldwide.
Linking Devices
EtherNet/IP and ControlNet linking devices allow you to
quickly connect your factory network to a
CENTERLINE 2100 MCC with IntelliCENTER technology.
With an Integrated Architecture solution you can
seamlessly access parameters through an HMI, for motor
control across hundreds of motors. The bridging
capabilities of IntelliCENTER technology also allow you to
connect to a variety of other industrial networks.
DeviceNet Cabling
All trunk and drop DeviceNet cabling is ODVA certified
Class 1, with 600V insulation and 8 A rating. The DeviceNet
cabling system for IntelliCENTER Technology has been
extensively tested for noise immunity with network cables
in close proximity to high current motor leads.
IntelliCENTER technology provides a robust network
solution.
