6-2Concepts
EMC Directives
OMRON devices are designed so that they comply with the related EMC
Directives so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC
Directives (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the
customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of
the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed.
The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices
and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
NoteApplicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 V AC and 75
to 1,500 V DC meet the required safety standards for EN 61131-2.
6-3Conformance to EC Directives
The CompoNet Master Units comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the
machine or device in which a CompoNet Master Unit is used complies with
EC Directives, the CompoNet Master Unit must be installed as follows:
1,2,3...1. The CompoNet Master Unit must be installed within a control panel.
2. You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power
supplies used for the communications power supply and I/O power supplies.
3. CompoNet Master Units complying with EC Directives also comply with the
Common Emission Standard (EN 61000-6-4). Radiated emission characteristics (10-m regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the
control panel used, other devices connected to the control panel, wiring,
and other conditions. You must therefore confirm that the overall machine
or equipment complies with EC Directives.
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)

SECTION 1
Smart Slaves and Features
This section provides an overview of the DeviceNet DRT2-series Smart Slaves, including lists of models, and information
on features that were not included in the DRT1-series Slaves.
The DRT2-series Smart Slaves can be used to collect various information that
improves the operating rate of the equipment, in addition to performing basic
input and output of ON/OFF signals.
A maintenance system can be configured separately from the control system.
This enables a balance between control and maintenance using an existing
DeviceNet network, contributing to reduced startup time, shorter recovery
time when problems occur, and preventative maintenance of the equipment.
• Control System
The default settings for remote I/O communications with the PLC are the
same as for previous Slaves, whereby real I/O is allocated for each node
address. One difference with previous Slaves is that an area for Smart
Slave status information can be allocated to the Smart Slaves within the
IN Area of the Master. This is in addition to real I/O. (Settings are performed using the Configurator or explicit messages.)
• Maintenance System
The Configurator is used to read and write various types of equipment
information stored in the DRT2 Slave. The same equipment information
can also be read and written by sending explicit messages to the DRT2
Slave from the Master (such as a PLC or a DeviceNet Master Board
mounted in a personal computer).

DRT2-series Slaves have the following features.
Node addresses are set using rotary switches, which are clearer than the previous DIP switch settings. Node addresses can also be set from the Configurator.
Previous models required the baud rate to be set using the Slave's DIP
switch, but Smart Slaves do not require the baud rate to be set. The Smart
Slave automatically operates at the baud rate of the Master Unit.
When using default remote I/O communications from the PLC for DRT2
Slaves, only real I/O is allocated. This is the same method used by the previous DRT1 Slaves.
The following status information can be allocated in addition to real I/O, in the
IN Area of the Master by using the Configurator or explicit messages to make
user settings (default connection path settings):
Generic Status Flags, Top/Valley Detection Timing Flags, Analog Status Flags
As part of the remote I/O function, Network power supply voltages (present,
peak, and bottom values) can be recorded in the Slave. The Configurator can
be used to read the information. The Slave also maintains a set value for monitoring the voltage, and will provide notification in the Status Area if the voltage
drops below the set level.
Unit Conduction Time
Monitor

The time that the Slave's internal circuit power is ON can be totaled and
recorded. The Configurator or explicit messages can be used to read the
information. The Slave also maintains a set value for monitoring the Unit's ON
time, and will provide notification in the Status Area if the set time is reached.

inputs caused by inrush current at startup after the I/O power is turned ON.
The number of times each input or output contact changes from OFF to ON
can be counted (maximum resolution: 50 Hz). The Configurator or explicit
messages can be used to read the information. The Slave also maintains a
set value for monitoring the number of contact operations, and will provide
notification in the Status Area if the set value is reached.
NoteThe Contact Operation Counter and Total ON Time Monitor cannot be used at
the same time for a single contact.
Total ON Time Monitor This function is used to total and record in the Slave the time that devices,
such as sensors and relays, that are connected to the Slave are ON. The
Configurator or explicit messages can be used to read the information. The
Slave also maintains a set value for monitoring the total ON time, and will provide notification in the Status Area if the set value is reached.
NoteThe Total ON Time Monitor and Contact Operation Counter cannot be used at
the same time for a single contact.
Detection of Sensor Power
Short-circuit
The I/O power supply current is monitored and if the current exceeds the rated
current, it is judged to be a sensor power short-circuit and the sensor power
output is forced OFF.
Environment-resistive Slaves, Advanced Models: The number of the shorted
contact can be checked from the I/O status indicators. The Configurator or
explicit message communications can also be used to read which connector
or sensor has shorted. The Slave will automatically reset when the cause of
the short-circuit has been removed.
Sensor Connector Terminals: When a short-circuit is detected in any of the
contacts, the I/O power for the Unit is turned OFF. A short-circuit detection
error can be confirmed using the SHTO indicator. The Configurator or explicit
messages can also be used to read the error status.

DRT2 FeaturesSection 1-1
Screw-less Clamp Terminals (DRT2-@D32SLH-1): The number of the shorted
contact can be checked using the I/O status indicators. The Configurator or
explicit message communications can also be used to read which terminal
sensor has shorted. The Slave will automatically reset when the cause of the
short-circuit has been removed.
External Load Shortcircuit Detection
Sensor Disconnected
Detection
External Load Short-circuit Detection monitors the output load current and if
the Output Unit's current exceeds the set value, it is judged to be an external
load short-circuit and the output is forced OFF to prevent damage to the Unit's
output circuit. When an external load short-circuit is detected, the External
Load Short-circuit Detection Flag turns ON. The External Load Short-circuit
Detection Flag can be read by either the Configurator or explicit messages.
The I/O power supply current is monitored and it is determined whether a sensor is disconnected. The Configurator or explicit messages can be used to
read which sensor is not connected.

■ Basic I/O Unit + Expansion Unit
The time that lapses from when the output turns ON to when the input turns
ON can be measured at high speed from the Slave (without relying on the ladder program). The Slave also maintains a set value for monitoring the operation time, and will provide notification the Status Area if the set time is
exceeded. The Configurator or explicit messages can be used to read the
information.
The DRT2-MD16(-1) cannot be expanded with an Expansion Unit, but its
operation time can be monitored.
■ Three-tier Terminal Block
In contrast to the existing Units, which could only measure I/O (OUT-IN), these
Units can also measure operating times for IN-IN and OUT-OUT combinations. In addition, the trigger edge (ON to OFF or OFF to ON) can be selected
and input and output numbers can be freely combined for flexible settings.

and input and output numbers can be freely combined for flexible settings.

The environment-resistive construction enables usage in locations subject to
oil and water splashes (IP67). An environment-resistive box is not required,
enabling greater downsizing and reducing wiring labor.
Power for communications, internal circuits, and input devices is shared, making wiring necessary only for the communications power supply. With standard models, a power supply must be wired to I/O devices.
The rated output current is 1.5 A, allowing the direct connection of output
devices with high loads.
Operation Time Monitor
(DRT2-MD16CL(-1) and
DRT2-@D04CL Only)
The time that lapses from when the output turns ON to when the input turns
ON can be measured at high speed from the Slave (without relying on the ladder program). The Slave also maintains a set value for monitoring the operation time, and will provide notification the Status Area if the set time is
exceeded. The Configurator or explicit messages can be used to read the
information.

The conversion cycle when all 4 analog input points are used is 4 ms max.
The AD conversion cycle can be shortened by reducing the number of points
used (i.e., the number of AD conversion points).
Analog Input Terminals and Temperature Input Terminals can calculate the
average of the past eight analog input values to produce a stable input value
even when the input value is unsteady.

The maximum (peak) and minimum (bottom) values input to Analog Input Terminals and Temperature Input Terminals can be held. These values can then

The top and valley values for values input to Analog Input Terminals and Temperature Input Terminals can be held. The timing of tops and valleys can be
monitored with the Top/Valley Detection Timing Flags. The top and valley values can be compared with alarm set values, and flags turned ON as appropriate to indicate the status (comparator function).
The rate of change for values input to Analog Input Terminals and Temperature Input Terminals can be obtained for each sampling cycle.
Values input to Analog Input Terminals and Temperature Input Terminals or
values after math processing can be compared to the alarm set values (HH,
H, L, and LL), and the result indicated with the Analog Status Flags. If the
result is outside the set range, the Normal Flag (pass signal) is turned ON.
With Analog Input Terminals, disconnections can be detected in wiring for
analog (voltage or current) inputs that are enabled as AD conversion points.
The status can be checked at the Master using the Off-wire Detection Flag.
This function is valid only for the input ranges 4 to 20 mA and 1 to 5 V.
With Temperature Input Terminals, disconnections can be detected for each
sensor input. The status can be checked at the Master using the Off-wire
Detection Flag.

linear conversion based on the points corresponding to 0% and 100%.
Cumulative CounterA cumulated value that approximates the integral of analog input (or output)
values or a temperature input value over time can be calculated and read.
Monitor values can also be set in the Unit. When the cumulated count value
exceeds the set monitor value, the Cumulative Counter Flag in the area for
Generic Status Flags turns ON.

can be used to see if the number of times that is counted has exceeded a

The length of time that the system is at a user-set temperature or within a
user-set temperature range can be measured in seconds. Explicit messages
can be used to see if the measured time has exceeded a monitoring set value.
A relative comparison can be made between two inputs (0 to 3) and to detect
temperature differences between two inputs or with a monitoring set value.
Explicit messages can be used to see if the temperature difference has
exceeded a monitoring set value.
