Overview
LED Indicator
DIP Switches
The RediSTATION has one bicolor LED (red/green) to show its
operating status. The LED shows the following indications.
ColorStateIndication
NoneOffNo power.
SolidUnrecoverable fault.
Red
Green
Flashing
SolidNormal runtime operation.
FlashingDevice is idle or not allocated to a master.
Output error or configuration error.
The RediSTATION device is operating as a slave to
the master controller.
The LED is visible when the cover of the enclosure is removed.
The RediSTATION has one 10-position DIP switch for setting:
• DeviceNet Node Address
• DeviceNet Data Rate
• Output Fault State (Off or Last State)
• Output Flash Rate
The DIP switch is located on the circuit board inside the enclosure.
The switch settings and functions are shown below. The default
setting for each switch or group of switches is underlined.
Default Configuration
OFF = 0
10123456789
ON = 1
DeviceNet Address 000000 – 111111
DeviceNet Data Rate 00
The RediSTATION receives all power and communications through
the DeviceNet cable. A separate power supply is not required. This
is the only external connection to the RediSTATION.
The RediSTATION connects to the DeviceNet using the DeviceNet
terminal block on the communication board.
1. Refer to the table above to select the correct data rate.
2. Slide switches 7 and 8 to the appropriate ON/OFF positions.

Setting the Output Fault State
DIP switch 9 sets the state of the outputs (pilot lights) when the
device detects an error. The factory default setting is to turn the
outputs off when an error is detected.
Default Configuration
OFF = 0
10123456789
Output Fault State 0 = Outputs Turn Off on Fault
Output Fault StatesDescription
Outputs Retain Last State
Outputs Turn Off on Error
ON = 1
1 = Outputs Hold Last State on Fault
When communications is lost, the station stops sending signals. The station ignores push button presses in the error
state. The outputs remain in their last state.
When communications is lost, the station turns off outputs. The
station ignores push button presses in the error state. When
communications is regained, the station updates itself and
resumes operations.
DeviceNet Termination
To change the fault state, slide switch 9 to the appropriate ON/OFF
setting.
Setting the Output Flash Rate
DIP switch 10 sets the flash rate of the outputs (pilot lights). The
factory default setting is 1 Hz.
To change the flash rate, slide switch 10 to the appropriate ON/OFF
position.
Devices on end nodes of the DeviceNet network require termination.
If the RediSTATION is an end node, you must provide network
termination.
To terminate the RediSTATION, install a 121 ohm 1% metal film
resistor between the CAN_High and CAN_Low terminals on the
DeviceNet terminal block.

Modes of Operation
The RediStation has 3 modes of operations:
• Powerup / Reset mode
• Run mode
• Error mode
Powerup/Reset Mode
During a powerup or reset, the RediSTATION:
1. Clears outputs (turns outputs off) and sets the LED indicator to
solid red.
2. Performs powerup diagnostic tests including:
– EPROM checksum test
– RAM read/write test
– Watchdog timer test
– Serial number verification
If any test fails, the outputs remain off and the LED remains solid
red. You must cycle power to recover from a power-up
diagnostic test failure. Repeated failures indicate a faulty unit.
3. Reads and stores the DIP switch settings.
Important: DIP switches are only read in powerup or reset
mode. Changes to DIP switch settings under power cause an
error.
4. Performs a duplicate node address check to verify that another
node is not assigned the same DeviceNet address as the
RediSTATION device.
If a duplicate node error occurs, the outputs turn off and the status
led is set to blinking red. You must cycle power to clear the error.
During a powerup or reset, the LED is red. If the powerup or reset is
successful, the RediSTATION enters run mode and the LED flashes
green.
Run Mode
After a successful powerup or reset, the RediSTATION enters run
mode and operates as a slave device to a master device. In run
mode, the:
• controller scans switch inputs and writes lamp outputs.
• station accepts output messages and poll messages from other
nodes on the DeviceNet network.
• station monitors outputs for underloads/overloads.

FlashingRed
If an output error is detected, the RediSTATION sets the appropriate
message bits and remains in run mode.
In run mode, you can configure the outputs to:
• turn on
• turn off
• flash
DIP switch 10 controls the rate of flashing for outputs.
The RediSTATION also supports DeviceNet configuration messages
that are received over the network.
Error Mode
In error mode (LED turns red), the RediSTATION monitors the error
state for correct operation. Errors are critical or noncritical.

DeviceNet Operations
The Allen-Bradley 1747-SDN and 1771-SDN DeviceNet Scanner
Modules are master devices on the DeviceNet network. The
RediSTATION supports the Master/Slave Connection Set for
master/slave communications on the DeviceNet network.
To communicate with a RediSTATION, the DeviceNet Scanner
Module must be configured with the RediSTATION:
• node address
• input bytes (1)
• output bytes (1)
The DeviceNet Scanner Module:
• connects to the RediSTATION slave device
• performs the appropriate connection configuration
• polls the RediSTATION for inputs and outputs
Response Times
The RediSTATION responds to a DeviceNet Scanner poll within 1
millisecond.
The switch inputs are debounced for 50 milliseconds. When a
change of state is detected, the inputs are not read for another 50
milliseconds.

Interface Board and connect the DeviceNet cable to the DeviceNet
terminal block connector.
To install devices:
1. Connect the device terminals to the I/O connector using the I/O
cables. An I/O cable consists of a twisted (red/black) wire pair.
Each set of contacts or pilot light connects to an I/O cable.

To simplify wiring, input devices and output devices attach to
opposite ends of the I/O connector. The following table defines
pin functions on the I/O connector. Output devices connect to
pins 1–2 and 3–4. Input devices connect to pins 5–6, 7–8, 9–10
