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 Ultra3000 Drive with DeviceNet Interface provides the following
features:
• Ultra3000 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.
• User-configurable fault response provides the ability to customize
the drive’s actions to communication errors.
• Software configuration lets you configure the Ultra3000 Drive with
DeviceNet using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet (Version 3.00.00 Service
Pack 1, or later).
• Customize network activity by configuring the drive to:
– report only new data using Change-of-State (COS) capability.
– report data at specific intervals using cyclic operation.
• Autobaud allows the drive to determine the network data rate.
• Supports Automatic Device Replacement (ADR).
