Hardware Description

All connections, whether power or fieldbus, to the BridgeWay are made on one

end of the module. Phoenix connectors are provided for power and DeviceNet

connections. A RJ-style connector is provided for Ethernet connection. There is a

9-pin D-Subminiature connector for the auxiliary RS-232 port that is used for

field firmware upgrades. See “Installation” on page 2-1 for more details on the

connectors.

There is an 8 position dip switch on the end of the module that can be used to

select a portion of a default IP address that may be used to permit an intranet con-

nection. See “Ethernet Network Configuration” on page 3-1 for more details on

configuring the IP address using the switches.

On the front of the BridgeWay module are 7 LEDs that are used for status indica-

tion. These LEDs provide visual status for the overall module, the DeviceNet

interface, and the Ethernet interface. See “BridgeWay LEDs” on page 10-1 for

details on how the LEDs are used.

The back of the module has a DIN rail mount to allow the module to be mounted

on a DIN rail.
