DL-DN1 Overview

1

Overview

Before Using

The DL-DN1 operates as a slave unit of DeviceNet communication. Using DeviceNet
communications, the sensor amplifiers and other units connected to the DL-DN1 can
transmit their ON/OFF control signals and current values as communication data to a
PLC or other equipment.
The DL-DN1 supports DeviceNet I/O communication (polling) and explicit messaging.
I/O polling enables data communication without the need of a ladder program. Explicit
messaging allows for reading/writing sensor amplifier parameters and issuing motion
commands to the sensor amplifiers.

System configuration example

Types and Number of Connectable Sensor Amplifiers

The DL-DN1 can connect a maximum of 15 sensor amplifiers (main units and expan­sion units) which support D-bus. "D-bus" is the name of KEYENCE's wiring-saving
system for sensor amplifiers.
Different types of sensor amplifiers with D-bus support can be connected to a single
DL-DN1 unit.

How many and what types of sensor amplifiers can be connected depends on the
sensor amplifiers or units to be connected. For details, refer to the user's manual of

your sensor amplifiers and "Connecting with Sensor Amplifiers" (page 5-2) in this
manual.

ID number

• Since ID numbers are assigned automatically, changing the num­ber of sensor amplifiers or their connection sequence may require
modification of the control program. In addition, some units are
restricted in their connection sequence (e.g., a unit that must be
the last connection). These considerations should be taken when
configuring the control program.

• Changing the number of connected sensors may change the mem­ory area reserved in the DL-DN1.

• An error results if more sensor amplifiers are connected than the
maximum number of connectable amplifiers.

Use the following procedure to connect the DL-DN1 to the DeviceNet system.

Configuring the Data Link

This manual covers only the functions and settings of a DeviceNet master
unit which are required for communication with the DL-DN1. For the functions
and settings related to the communication between the DeviceNet master unit
and CPU unit, refer to the manuals shipped with your master unit or CPU unit.

Configuring the Master Unit

The following configurations are required to connect the DL-DN1 to the DeviceNet
master unit.

Slave attribute settings

Configure the master unit with the communication form, I/O size, and other
information about the slave units. For this purpose, the EDS file for the DL-DN1 can
be imported into the configuration software of the master unit.

The EDS file can be downloaded from the KEYENCE web site:
http://www.keyence.com

Memory allocation settings

Configure the memory areas required for exchanging data through I/O
communication. Do this using the configuration software of the master unit.

Point

• The memory allocations must be reconfigured if the number of
connected sensors is changed, because the memory area
reserved in the DL-DN1 may change.

• Cautions for connecting the Keyence master unit KV-DN20
Assign the memory allocation start address either to odd-num­bered addresses or to even-numbered addresses according to
operating modes of the DL-DN1 (refer to page 2-11). The current
value may not be read out correctly if the assignment is not proper.
Assign to odd-numbered addresses:
3-output + current value (no extended) mode
5-output + current value (no extended) mode
Assign to even-numbered addresses:
Operating modes other than the above

Where multiple slave units are connected, the memory allocation for each
slave unit is done automatically, based on the specified starting address.
The allocation information for each slave unit can be checked using Devi­ceNet configuration software.

Setting the node address

Using the address setting switch, set the DeviceNet node address to be assigned to
the DL-DN1.

• Default value: 63

• Setting range: 00 to 63

When setting the node address of the DL-DN1 from the DeviceNet master unit, set it
in the range of 64 to 99. The DL-DN1 enters PGM mode.

Point

When the DL-DN1 is set in the PGM mode and the power is turned on,
the address of the DL-DN1 is the same as used when the DL-DN1was
started previously.
When the DL-DN1, in the factory default setting, is set to PGM mode,
the node address of the DL-DN1 is 63. Do not start multiple DL-DN1
units in factory default setting in the PGM mode, as that will result in
a network error because of the duplicate node addresses.

Overview of DeviceNet Communication

The DL-DN1 operates as a slave unit of a DeviceNet system, with support for I/O
communication (polling) and explicit messaging. This section outlines the type of data
that the DL-DN1 can communicate using DeviceNet and how it is communicated.

Data Communicated Using DeviceNet

The master unit of the DeviceNet system and the DL-DN1 are linked as shown below.

Overview of Communication Methods

The master unit of the DeviceNet system can use the following functions:

Function of

sensor amplifier

Read status
Read output 1to 5
Read current value
Execute external input 1to 5
Change BANK number
Rewrite setting value
Motion command
Read current value, setting,

and status
Read data with decimal

point information
Rewrite setting
Lock all

* When using these functions in explicit messaging, use the command parameters

for the functions assigned to external inputs 1 to 5. For details, see "Command
parameter list for IB series" (page 3-28)

I/O Communication

• The output signal, comparator value, and error status of sensor amplifiers can be
communicated without the need of a ladder program.

• By using the IN and OUT areas as handshake signals, the master unit can execute
external inputs to the sensor amplifier or change setting values.

Explicit Messaging

The master unit can use explicit messaging commands to directly read/write
parameter values of sensor amplifiers. All functions that can be executed on sensor
amplifiers are available through explicit messaging.

I/O Communication

The device map varies depending on the operating mode of the DL-DN1. Select an
operating mode suited for the functions of the sensor amplifiers to be used, before
accessing each device.
The memory in the DeviceNet master unit is linked to the buffer memory in the DL­DN1 as shown below.

Selecting the DL-DN1 Operating Mode

Select the DL-DN1 operating mode to suit the functions of the sensor amplifiers to be
used.
The DeviceNet device configuration and the data available for I/O communication
vary, depending on the selected operating mode of the DL-DN1 and the number of
connected sensor amplifiers. An appropriate operating mode should be determined
by considering the memory occupied and the data that can be communicated.

Communication Methods

The following describes how the DeviceNet master unit communicates with the DL­DN1 (slave unit) using I/O communication (polling).

"Reading an output from a sensor amplifier" (page 3-15)

"Entering an external input into a sensor amplifier" (page 3-16)

"Reading comparator values (P.V. values) from sensor amplifiers" (page 3-17)

Device assignments: "External input" (page 3-11)

Communicating with the IB Series

This example illustrates how to enter a TIMING input into the sensor amplifier of ID01.
It assumes that the operating mode assigned to the device is 3-output mode.
(1)The device value in the OUT area which is assigned an external input request is

linked via I/O communication, so that the external input of the sensor amplifier is
turned on or off.

(2)The input status of the sensor amplifier can be checked with the external input

response.

• An "amplifier unit external input ON" status is recognized when
either the "external input from communication" or the "amplifier
unit input signal line" is ON, and input operation is executed (OR
operation).
[Example] When a "laser beam stop input" setting is specified at

external input "n", the "laser beam stop" input is exe­cuted when either the "external input from communica­tion" or the "amplifier unit input signal line" is ON.

• When bank switching is used, the amplifier unit's "BANK switching
method" must be specified as "external input switching".

Reading comparator values (P.V. values) from sensor amplifiers

Comparator values (P.V. values) are read by reading the IN areas which are assigned
the ID numbers of sensor amplifiers.

Device assignments: "Comparator value (P.V. value)" (page 3-10)

This example illustrates how to read the comparator values from the sensor amplifiers
of ID 01, 02, and 03.
It assumes that the operating mode assigned to the devices are "3-output mode +
current value, no extended."
(1)When the comparator value of a sensor amplifier is updated, the new comparator

value is entered into the IN area via I/O communication.

(2)The property of the comparator value is entered. If the comparator value of a sen-

sor amplifier is "over," "under," or "invalid," the bit corresponding to the ID number
of that sensor amplifier flips to 1.

C Resets the zero shift value.

C Executes resetting.

Clears the reference light registration error [ErG] and adjustment

Initializes all settings, except for sensor amplifier calibration, ref­erence light registration, and system parameters. Once an initial
reset request is executed, all parameters are stored into the non-

C

volatile memory (EEPROM) in approximately 12 seconds. After
finished, the setting/status command parameter "EEPROM writ­ing result" flips to "successfully completed (1)".

Changes the system parameters (the settings of "judgment out­put/check output" polarity and analog output) to the settings con­tained in the setting/status command parameter "system
parameter."
When executing a system parameter set, ensure that the settings

C

are changed correctly to suit the connected equipment and wir­ing. A wrong change may damage the sensor amplifier or the
connected equipment.
The execution result can be checked with "system parameter
current state."

*1 Correction will not be possible if a setting change occurs between the target 1

and target 2 execution requests. When corrections are being performed, do not
change the settings during the processing.
Note also, that the "auto adjust" function is disabled between the target 1 and
target 2 execution requests. Be sure to follow the target 1 execution request
with a target 2 execution request.

Setting/status command parameters

• For the communication methods using setting/status parameters,
see "Reading/Writing Settings or Status of a Sensor Amplifier" (page 3-23).

• To reduce the number of writes to the EEPROM, a write command is executed 2
seconds after it is received. If another command is received within 2 seconds, the
DL-DN1 waits for another 2 seconds before executing the two commands simulta­neously. After the writing completes successfully, the "EEPROM writing result"
parameter becomes "successfully completed (1)". For example, if commands are
received continuously every second, they will not execute because the DL-DN1
remains "currently writing (0)". 2 seconds after the last command is received, the
commands received will be executed simultaneously.

• If data with a decimal point is used for a parameter range, ignore the decimal point

Communicating with the IB Series

and read or write the data as an integer. For example, to write a HIGH setting value
(BANK 0) of "+1.235" (size mode), write "+1235".

• Attribute R: Read; W: Write; R/W: Read/Write

• N: ID number of sensor amplifier; for example, if the ID number is 13, then N x 10 +
3 -> 133 (DEC).

• The data types are DINT unless explicitly specified.

[Example] After every-second write command transmissions, a "0: writing in

progress" status is established for 2 seconds. A "0: writing in prog­ress" status is maintained for 2 seconds after completion of the final
write command transmission, and writing then begins 2 seconds

later, with a result of "1: successfully completed".
However, writing begins immediately following a initial reset executed in
response to a data category N Data No. 69 "initial reset" request. A "1: success­fully completed" result then occurs if all parameters have been saved to the

*12 By reading the "system parameter current state," the system parameters of the

sensor amplifier can be checked. The system parameters are comprised of the
settings of "judgment output/check output" polarity and analog output.
The "system parameter" attribute specifies the system parameters which are
set when the "system parameter set request" is executed by a motion com­mand.
The values to be read or written are specified by translating them to binaries
and using ON or OFF in each bit of the binaries.
