Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an automatic method for
DHCP
Ethernet equipment to obtain an IP address. The Net F/T system can obtain
its IP address using DHCP on networks that support this protocol.

An IP Address (Internet Protocol Address) is an electronic address assigned
IP Address
to an Ethernet device so that it may send and receive Ethernet data. IP
addresses may be either manually selected by the user or automatically
assigned by the DHCP protocol.
MAC Addresses (Media Access Control Addresses) are the unique
MAC Address
addresses given to every Ethernet device when it is manufactured, to be
used as an electronic Ethernet serial number.

1. Safety
1.1 General
The customer should verify that the transducer selected is rated for maximum loads and
moments expected during operation. Refer to F/T Transducer Manual (9620-05-Transducer Section—Installation and Operation Manual) found in Net F/T Installation and Operation
Manual (9610-05-1022) or contact ATI Industrial Automation for assistance. Particular
attention should be paid to dynamic loads caused by robot acceleration and deceleration.
These forces can be many times the value of static forces in high acceleration or deceleration
situations.
1.2 Explanation of Warnings
The warnings included here are specific to the product(s) covered by this manual. It is
expected that the uses heed all warnings from the robot manufacturer and/or the manufacturers
of other components used in the installation.
Danger indicates that a situation could result in potentially serious injury or damage to
equipment.
Caution indicates that a situation could result in damage to the product and/or the
other system components.

to the transducer during handling or installation. The small Nano series is easily
overloaded during rough handling and may be damaged.
The NETOEM and NETAOEM are PCB-only versions of the NETB and NETBA Force/Torque
sensor interface system s and do not include an enclosure. They provide the same functionality as
their enclosed counterparts at a much lower weight and with smaller dimensions to be integrated in
the customer’s own housing. Please refer to the Net F/T manual for a description of the available
functions: http://www.ati-ia.com/app_content/documents/9610-05-1022.pdf
2.1 NETOEM
The NETOEM is to be used in conjunction with a 9105-NET transducer, wh ic h has an integrated
analog-to-digital interface. The NETOEM is recommended for all NET-GAMMA, NET-DELTA, NETTHETA and NET-OMEGA transducers.
.
Figure 2-1—NETOEM System
2.2 NETAOEM
The NETAOEM includes the analog-to-digital interface and allows the direct interface to
9105-TW transducers which do not have integrated electronics. The NETAOEM is
recommended for all TW-NANO and TW-MINI transducers but can also be used with TWGAMMA, TW-DELTA, TW-THETA and TW-OMEGA transducers.

3. System Components Description
The NETOEM and NETAOEM consist of one or two PCBs and several optional wire harnesses.
3.1 9010-05-1106 Net Digital Board
The Net Digital Board communicates with the Net Analog Board (see section 3.2 “9010-051107 Net Analog Board”) via a high-speed serial interface on P604. The received data are
digitized strain data that get transformed into force and torque values on the Net Digital Board.
The Net Digital Board provides the force and torque data over an Ethernet and a CAN
interface.
The Net Analog Board interfaces with the transducer’s strain gages via connector P2. The
strain gage signals get digitized with 16-bit A/D converters. The digitized data are then sent
over a high speed RS485 interface to the Net Digital Board via connector P1. 12VDC power
from the Net Digital Board is supplied via P1.
The Net Analog Board is part of the NETAOEM and is connected to the Net Digital Boards
connector P601. In NETOEM systems the Net Analog Board is located in the 9105-NET
transducer.
All user connectors are from Molex’s Pico Blade family of connectors. Depending on the contact
insert used, these connectors can accept wire sizes from 26 AWG (0.41 mm) to 32 AWG (0.20 mm).
The NETAOEM Transducer Strain Gage wire harness is only used with the NETAOEM,
where it provides a connector interface between P600 of the Net Digital Board and a 9105-TW
transducer. The 9105-TW transducer connector is a front-mount panel type and may be used
on panels up to 0.197” (5mm) thick. The connector is keyed to the panel and is secured by a
hex nut (included). The connector is not suitable for use in wet environments and has a rating
of IP40.

GmbH at http://www.amphenol.de/connector/T-3638-009/497.html
5.2 9000-05-1050 M12-4 Type D Ethernet Wire Harness
The M12-4 Type D Ethernet wire harness provides a connector interface between P602 of the
Net Digital Board and an Ethernet cable with M12 connector.
Details and mechanical specif icat ions for the M12-4 Type D Ethernet connector may be
obtained from the manufacturer Turck under the part number FKFDDV-44

5.4 9000-05-1052 NETOEM Transducer Wire Harn es s
The NETOEM Transducer wire harness is only used with the NETOEM where it provides a
connector interface between P604 of the Net Digital Board and a 9105-C-MTR or 9105-CMTS transducer cable with M12 connector. The ring terminal provides a connection to the
cable shield and should be connected to the NETOEM enclosure’s chassis ground for best
EMC performance.
Details and mechanical specifications for the M12 connector may be obtained from the
manufacturer Turck under the part number FKFDLV 57 / U3-10512
The ring terminal is designed for 0.164” stud size and has an outer diameter of 0.33”.
Cable length to Molex connector: about 3.5” (88 mm)
Cable length to ring terminal: about 2.5” (63 mm)
Power is drawn from only one power source at a time.

6.2.2 Threshold Relay
The threshold relay contacts (NC_P, NO_P and COM_P on P605) are protected
against overload by a resettable fuse. The maximum guaranteed fuse hold current is
50mA.
