ATTENTION:The drive may contain high voltages that can
cause injury or death. Remove all power from the drive, and
then verify power has been removed before installing or
removing a DeviceNet module. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION:Only qualified personnel familiar with the
construction and o peration of this equipment and the hazards
involved should install, adjust, operate, or service this
equipment. Read and un derstand this docum ent in its entirety
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION:If the DeviceNet module is transmitting control

DeviceNet Communications Module
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This manual provides information about the DeviceNet module
(MDCOMM-DNET) and using it with MD65 drives. The module is
mounted in the MD65 drive and receives its required power from the
drive and from the DeviceNet network.
This manual is intended for qualified electrical personnel familiar
with installing, programming, and maintaining AC drives and
DeviceNet networks.
1.1DeviceNet Module Features
The DeviceNet module features the following:
• Switches that ena ble y ou to set a no de ad dress and n etwor k dat a
rate before applying power to the drive. Alternatively, you can
disable the switches and use parameters to configure these
features.
• A jumper that allows you to select between Single- or Multi-Drive
mode of operation. In single mode, the module represents one
single drive on one node. In Multi-Drive mode, the module
represents up to five drives on one node.
• A number of configurati on to ols tha t ca n be used to configure the
module and connected drive. The tools include the Operator
Interface Module (OIM) on the drive, network software such as
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, or drive-configuration software such
as VS Utilities.
• Status indicators that report the status of the drive
communications, module, and network. They are visible both
when the cover is opened and when it is closed.
Introduction
• I/O, including L ogic Comman d/Reference, that may be co nfigured
for your application using a parameter.
• Explicit and UCMM (Un conne cted Me ssag e Manag er) mess ages
are supported.
• Multiple data exchange methods, including polled, cyclic, and
change of st ate (COS), th at can b e used t o transmi t dat a betwee n
the network and module.
1-1
• User-defined fault actions that determine how the module and
MD65 drive respon d to commun ication disr uptions on th e network
and controllers in idle mode.
• Faulted node recovery is supported. You can configure a device
even when it is faulted on the network if you have a configuration
tool that uses faulted node recovery and have properly set
module node address switches and data rate switches.
