The DeviceNet wireless unit, consisting of a DeviceNet wirel ess master station and a DeviceNet wireless slave station, allows wireless communication
with the DeviceNet slave.
Basically, the wireless master station is connected to th e DeviceNet network
and acts as either a virtual DeviceNet slave or wireless network master station
for the DeviceNet master unit. The wireless slave station acts as either a wireless network s lave station or a virtual DeviceNet mas ter with the DeviceNet
slave unit.
This unit conforms to the following radio wave standards.

Since the wireless region is divided into 34 frequencies from 2,400 to
2,483.5MHz, you can sele ct an unused frequency for building multiple systems.
Using a spectral spread me thod (DS: direc t spread) as a mo dulation method
achieves high-quality communications even in areas of excess noise.
Although communications distances vary according to the installation environment, the goal indoors is 60m in line of sight.
The relay functions allow an increase in the communicati ons area (to a maximum of 3 stages).
DeviceNet slaves may also be connected to the relay station.
However, relay station system settings can only be performed from the config-
urator.
antennas).
The effects of this function are observed when used in areas where variations
in radio waves (such as reflections) occur.
Depending on the switch settings of the wireless master station, the maximum
number of I/O per wireless master station can be increased to 100 words/
100 words (IN/OUT). The maximum number of wireless slave stations that
can be connected has increased to 64.
Using the magnet-base antenna, the station itself can be installed inside a
control panel with the antenna ins talled outside. Al so, because it is mounte d
with a magnet, the p osition of the antenna can be adjusted e asily when, for
example, the control panel is moved. Attenuation in the ante nna cable (2m),
however, limits the maximum communic ations di stanc e to appr oximately 50m

the uppermost bit for "status begin word +0" (16) becomes 1.
Each wireless master station can control a maximum of 512 (or 1,600) I/O points. However, there
are limits to the number of I/O points per node for each master unit. Therefore, systems should
be designed without exceeding the limitations for the number of I/O points per node for each
master unit.

master status errors.
1-2-5Disconnect/Connect Switch
The Disconnect/Connect Switch function that was introduced with CS/CJseries DeviceNet master uni ts c an b e us ed for wireless sl ave stations. A bit is
allocated to each wirel es s sl ave station’s WNODE, and if this bit is turned ON
(1), wireless I/O com municat ions and mess age communi cati ons with t he cor responding wirele ss slave station will stop (i.e., the wireless slave station is
disconnected from the network). This function is mainly used to reserve space
for wireless slave stations to be added in the future (i.e., I/O point s have been
registered in the wireless master station but no wireless slave station has
been connected yet).
Wireless slave stations tha t have been disc onnected from the net work do no t
need to be considere d when calculating the wireless communic ations cycle
time.
In the DeviceNet master unit’s I/O area, 0 is set in the IN area allocated to
wireless slave stations that have been set to leave the network.

Basic Functions of the DeviceNet Wireless UnitSection 1-2
1-2-6DeviceNet node addresses
DeviceNet node addresses (NNODEs) are included in wireless master stations. The master unit controls the assignment of DeviceNet slave I/O data
registered with wirele ss slave stations to areas corresp onding to these node
addresses.
Wireless node add resses (WNODEs) are included in wir eless slave stations.
These node addresses are used for control by wireless master stations.
Therefore, there is no purpose in assigning the wireless slave station
DeviceNet node addresses (NNODEs) to I/O. Normally, a 7 segment LED is
used to display the DeviceNet node address on wireless slave stations.
Since DeviceNet node addresses are controlled by wireless slave stations, be
sure to set the DeviceNet slaves so that there is no redundancy.

1-2-8Serial Number Check
With the release of the WD30-ME wi th Identity Ob ject Revision value 3.02, it
has become possible to register the serial number (the wireless slave station’s
own unique ID) of wireless slave stations to non-volatil e memory in th e wireless master station.
If a wireless slave station is registered to a wireless master station using
switch operations at the wire less master sta tion, or if seri al number check is
enabled for the wireless slave station by editing the device parameters using
the configurator, and the seria l number is wr itten, the wi reless sl ave station’s
serial number is re gistered to the wireles s master s tation’s non-volatile memory.
This function is for preventing incorrect WNODE settings for wireless slave
stations, and communications errors resulting from the effects of intermodulation.
If serial number check is enabled for all the wireless sl ave stations registered
to a wireless master station, the dot on the right-hand side of the wireless

Application LimitationsSection 1-4
1-4Application Limitations
The wireless unit is not des igned to b e com patible with every type of appl ication that uses DeviceNet. Do not use the unit with the following applications.
1,2,3...1. Applications that require real-time control
Do not use the unit with applications th at r e qui re r eal -tim e c on tr ol. In par ticular, it cannot be used under conditions that require responsiveness
greater than that outlined in "Section 9 Communications Timing".
Applications that do not require real-time control, such as indicators, equipment error monitors, and parts picking operation, are recommended.
2. Applications that use FINS message communications
Wireless units do not support FINS message com munic ati on s. For exam-
ple, although CX-Programmer Ver. 2.1 and later versions suppor t online
connection (i.e., remote programming and monitoring) to PLCs on DeviceNet networks (e.g., PLCs with CS/CJ-series DeviceNet Units or programmable slaves), this functionality is not available via wireless units.

1-5Points for Consideration with Wireless Systems
1-5-1Construction of mul t iple wireless systems
When construc ting a system for using multiple wi reless master stations, th e
following points must be considered. Consult your OMRON representative.
16
Page 29
Points for Consideration with Wireless SystemsSection 1-5
Setting wireless channelsIt is necessar y to select frequencies for the wireless channels that are not
interfered with by radio waves. (Radio inter ference can be handled by retr y
processes between the wireless networks, but will lengthen the system
response time.)
With this unit, 34 wireless channels can be selected from. Taking the following
points into consideration, however, the maximum number of wireless systems
usable in a single area without radio interference is, as a rough guide, 10.
1. It is possible that, for example, there is a wireless LAN on site that uses the
same frequency as this unit. Select an unused wireless channel using the
Configurator’s wireless channel monitor function.
2. Do not select neighboring wireless channels as they have a large amount
of interference.
3. Due to the fundamental nature of radio waves, if 2 or more waves with different frequencies are output at exactly the same time, mutual interference
will occur between the different frequencies, and new waves will be generated with frequencies at intervals equal to the intervals between the output
frequencies. (This phenomenon is called “intermodulation.”)

Radio wave created
by intermodulation
Do not select the frequencies of waves created by intermodulation.
Antenna separation
distance
The distance be tween wireless unit s has a large influ ence on the amou nt of
interference received. In par ticular, there may often be cases where wireless
master stations are installed relatively closely to each other. Separate the
antennas for different wireless master st ations by at least 1 m (at least 2 m, if
possible).
Test c onfirmationPerform a test to see whether or not the wireless units are rece iving interfer-
ence. Using the Configurator’s running test function, obtain the packet error
rate, and, based on this, determine whether or not the communications quality
is sufficient for the appl ication. (As a r ough guide, the packet rate should b e
less than 0.01.)
Intermodulation
Due to the fundamental nature of radio waves, if 2 or more waves with different frequencies are
output at exactly the same time, mutual interference will occur between the diff erent frequencies,
and new waves will be generated with f requencies at intervals equal to t he intervals betw een the
output frequencies.
17
Page 30
Points for Consideration with Wireless SystemsSection 1-5
!Caution Communications errors caused by intermodulation
Communications errors and retry proces sing may occur due to inter modulation and consequently cause transmission delays. In order to eliminate the
influence of intermodulation, do not set the wireless channels for wireless
units in every system to frequencies at regular intervals.
Before starting ope ration o f th e wi r ele ss sy ste m u sing a W D30-ME with Identity Object Revision value 3.02, eithe r register wireless slave stations to the
wireless master station using switch operations at the wireless master station,
or enable serial number check for the wireless slave stations using the configurator, and then register the seri al numbers of the wireless slave stations to
the wireless master station by writing the serial numbers.

2-2Pre-work Preparations
Items to be checked before performing installation work are explained
here.
2-2-1Determination of system configuration
A single wireless ma ster station is limited to a maximum of 1,02 4 or 3,200
points, 512 (32 words) or 1,600 (100 words) points each for both IN and OUT.
In addition, the maximum configu ration in a wireless network of master stations to slave stations is 1 to 32 or 1 to 6 4, and the maximum numbe r of IN/
OUT points for the entire s ystem is limited by the DeviceNet mast er un it. Th is
should be considered carefully when determining system configuration.

In this section, the operation procedu re is explained using the following system configuration as an example.
A communications power supply (Model S82K) has been purposely left out
of the diagram above. It should be connected and supply power to the
DeviceNet network (both upper and lower) and s hould be con nected wit h terminating resistor. In addition, an external power supply shou ld be conne cted
to the environment-resistant terminal of the DeviceNet slave.

Confirm that th e number of IN/O UT points for each wirel ess master station is
no more than 512 or 1,600 (32 or 100 words).
In the example, the number of IN points is 8
points is 8
A single wireless master station can control up to 512 points (or 1,600 points) for both input and
output, but the number of I/O points per node is limited by the master unit. Be careful not to
exceed the limit for I/O points per master unit node when constructing your system.

Confirmation of wiringA special communications cable is required to connect to the DeviceNet
micro-connector on the wireless unit.
In addition, if multiple DeviceNet slaves are connected, branch taps should be
used as necessar y. Terminators for the wireless slave station DeviceNet network should also be prepared. Refer to the "DeviceNet User’s Manual" for
details.
Confirmation of
communications power
supply
Since power is supplied to the wireles s unit from an extern al communic ations
power supply, a communications power connection must be made.
Taking the maximum current at startup into consideration, use a power supply
of at least 350mA. If using an OMRON S82K or S82 J switching power supply,
use a model with a capacity of at least 30W (S82K) or 25W (S82J).

2-5Operation Confirmation
The confirmation procedure for whether or not remote I/O communications
are performed correctly is explained in this section.
2-5-1Unit LED confirmation
If the MS and NS LEDs on all DeviceNet s laves (environment-resista nt ter m inals) light green, the node address is shown on the DeviceNet master
(C200HW-DRM21-V1) LED disp lay (the decim al dis play disappea rs), and th e
MS and NS LEDs light green, wireless remot e I/O communications ar e operating correctly in scan list enable mode.
2-5-2Status confirmation
If the STAT US se ttin g is mad e, status infor m atio n is auto mat ic al ly assig ned to
the 2 words at the top of the IN area. (The position is fixed.)
The IN/OUT data for DeviceNet slaves (environment-resistant terminals) is
first assigned to the IN a re as and O UT areas by the w irel ess s lave stations in
ascending order of WNO DE and i s then assi gned by the wirel ess ma ster stations in ascending order of NNODE (1 to 4 in this example).
The IN and OUT areas are a llocated in units of 1 6 points (1 word). Because
the slaves are 8-point units, the lower bytes (b its 0 to 7) are a ll oc ated an d th e
upper bytes (bits 8 to 15) are set to 00 Hex.
Replacing
wireless
slave stations
When a wireless slave station has been replaced, with reference to 2-4-2 DeviceNet slave ent ry,
register the new wireless slave station to the wireless master station using switch operations at
the wireless master station, or, with ref erence to SECTION 8 Using the Configurator, update the
serial number for the wireless slave station held at the wireless master station by writing the
serial number. If the DeviceNet wireless slave station is not registered, or the serial number is
not written, because the wireless master station will use the previous wireless slave station’s
serial number, communications will not be possible with the new wireless slave station.

2-7Deciding the Antenna Installation Position
This unit uses radio waves of frequency 2.4 GH z, which is ver y high. High-frequency waves exhibit strong rectili near propagation a nd are reflected easi ly.
For this reason, careful consideration of the antenna installation position is
required to achieve sufficient wireless performance.
1. If possible, install antennas so that there is a dir ect line of sight between
them.
High-frequency waves, which exhibit strong rectilinear propagation, are
used and so it is difficult for the waves to reach areas that are not in a direct
line of sight, as shown in the following diagram. This is a particularly important point for communications at long distances (e.g., exceeding 50m or
60m.)
Area not in a direct line of

sight from the antenna
Antenna that is
difficult for the waves
to reach

waves will reach
If the antennas are installed in lo ca tions with relatively high ceilings and a
lot of open space, even if there is no direct line of sight between the antennas, if one of the antenna s is installed in a hi gh lo cat ion , c ommun ic ations
may still be possible via radio waves that are reflected off the ceiling.
2. Install in as high a location as possible.
As mentioned in the pr ecedin g pa ragraph, if the an tennas ar e inst alled i n
high locations, because the sp ac e s urr oun din g th e a ntennas will be more
open, there will be less inf lue nce fr om o bs tac les, and the radio waves will

Deciding the Antenna Installation PositionSection 2-7
propagate more easily.
High antenna
Radio wave energy
Obstacle
3. Do not place obstacles (especially metal objects) near the antennas.
If there are obstacles ne ar the antennas (in par ticular, in the direction of
radio wave propagation), the radio waves may not be propagated d ue to
the influence o f the objects. Metal obj ects have the largest influence as
they reflect radio waves, whereas glass and plastic objects allow the waves
to pass through and so h ave the smallest i nfluence. Ensure a distanc e of
at least 30cm between obstacles and antennas.
4. Cable loss in magnet-base antennas
With magnet-base antennas (WD30-ME01/-SE01), there is loss in the 2m
antenna cable. This means that the maximum communications distance is
shorte r than with the pencil antennas. As a rough guide, the maximum
communications distance is approximately 50m indoors.
5. Cable bending radius for magnet-base antennas
The minimum bending radius for magnet-base antennas (WD30-ME01/
-SE01) is 38mm. Also, do not bend the cable at points less than 40mm
from the end connected to the station or at points less than 20mm from the
end connected to the antenna.
6. Separate different sets of antennas as much as possible.
If different sets of antennas are close to each other, they will influence each
other and thereby influence wireless communications, causing an increase
in the number of retr ies and a re duction in the possible c ommunications
distance. Separate different sets of antennas by at least 1m (at least 2m if
possible).
7. Do not install the 2 magnet-base antennas close to each other.
If the 2 antennas are close to each other, the diversity effect will not be uti-
lized. Separate the antennas by at least 6 2mm (a s with pe ncil anten nas) .
Magnet-mounting a llows the positions to be adjuste d easily. If possible,
separate the antennas by a greater distance than this.
8. Install the antennas with the same orientation.
Install antennas that are performing communications with the same orien-
tation, as shown in the following diagram. I f they are in stall ed at a n angle
of 90
° to each other, the possible co mmunicatio ns dist ance wil l be sh or t-
ened. (In this case, the waves are said to be “polarized.”)
9. Separate the antennas from ID tags by at least 3m.
39
Page 52
Deciding the Antenna Installation PositionSection 2-7
The OMRON V690 microwave RF-ID system uses frequencies within the
range used by the wireless unit and so if they are used on the same floor,
observe the following points when installing.
• Separate the antennas and ID tags by at least 3m.
• Set frequencies outside the range 12CH to 30CH.
10. Direction of waves emitted from the antennas
Antennas emit waves in certain directions, and there are certain directions
in which waves are received easily. These directions are known as the “directional character istics.” The directional c haracteristics for pencil ant ennas and magnet-base antennas when they are installed vertically are
donut-shaped, spreading ou twards horizontally. Radio waves are emitted
in every horizontal direction but are not emitted upwards or downwards.
11. Other points about magnet-base antennas
• The magnet on the magnet-base antenna is very strong. Do not remove
the antenna by pullin g o n th e c over or ca ble. Doing s o may damage th e
antenna. Be sure to hold the base when handling the antenna.
• Twist the cable as little as possible.
• Before mounting the antenna to the wireless unit, check that the plug
and jack are properl y connected and then tigh ten them by twisting the
ring nut. When mounting, twist only the ring nut; do not twist the cable.
• Design the hole for passi ng the cable through so that the cable is pro-
tected.

3-1Status Monitoring Program Example
An example of a status monitor ing program for the DeviceNet wireles s unit is
given below.
In this example, the status of the DeviceNet wireless unit is che cked at the
PLC CPU unit. If an error flag has occurred, an Explicit message command to
read the DeviceNet master status in the lower network where the wireless
slave station is connected will be issued.
In order to assign a status to the IN area, bit 3 of SW1 on the wireless master
station should be turned ON beforehand.

The DeviceNet node address is used for
both the node address and the NNODE.

The status assigned to the IN area of the master is monitored. Since the bit for
WNODE = 3 is 1, Instance ID is set to "03" and an Explicit message
(DeviceNet master status rea d) comm and is iss ued to the w ireless s lave station.

5-2Installation Test
This test is for adjusting the installation position (confirmation of receiving
wave, etc.) and the setup conditions (selecti on of unused freq uencies, selection of transmission output, etc.) at installation. Both master and slave stations
require the switch operation.
5-2-1Preparation
• The DeviceNet master and DeviceNet slave do not need to be connected
for the installation test.
• Set the WNODE switch of the wireless master station to "00" and the
WNODE switch of a wireless sl ave station to "01" to "64", avoiding duplication.
• Since both the wireless master stations and wireless slave stations require the transmission power supply, connect them to the power s upply
via the DeviceNet cable prepared for a micro-connector.

SECTION 6
Relay Function
This section gives detailed explanations of the relay function of the wireless slave stations used to enlarge the communications area.
A wireless slave station can be used as a r elay statio n when expansion of th e
communication are a is intended but the direct com munication is blocked by
obstacles.
The relay station can select either (1) the mode that does not connect the
DeviceNet slave (dedicated relay station mode) or (2) the m ode functions as
both the DeviceNet master and th e re lay station by con nec ti ng the DeviceNet
slave (non-dedicated mode) using DIP switches.
For details, refer to 4-2 DeviceNet Wireless Slave Station Specifications.
The maximum number of relay stages is 3 (no. of hops: 4).
A configurator is us ed for the relay station system setting. W hen the wi reless
slave station is used in the de di ca ted r el ay station mode, the DeviceNet slave
is not connected. However, since the communication power supply is
required, the communication cable needs to be connected.
Also, in the relay station system, the WCH switches of all wireless units must
be set to an identical frequency.
