Introduction

This manual pr ovides information about the DeviceNet adapter
(RECOMM-DNET) and using it with SP600 drives. The adapter is
mounted in t he SP600 drive and receives its required power from
the drive and from the DeviceNet network.

The DeviceNet adapter can be used with other products that
implement DPI. DPI is a peripheral communication inter face. Refer
to the documentation for your product for specific information about
how it works with the adapter.

This manual is intended for qualified electrical personnel familiar
with installing, programming, and maintaining AC drives and
DeviceNet networks.

1.1 DeviceNet Adapter Features

The DeviceNet adapter features the following:

Switches that enable you to set a node addres s and netw ork dat a

•

rate before applying power to the SP600 drive. Alternatively, you
can disable the switches and use parameters to configure these
features.

1

Introduction

A number of configuration tools that can be used to configure the

•

adapter 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, adapter, and network. They are visible both
when the cover is opened and when it is closed.

I/O, including Logic Command/Reference and up to four pairs of

•

Datalinks, that may be configured for your application using a
parameter.

Explicit and UCMM (Un connecte d Me ssage Ma nag er) messag es

•

are supported.
Multiple data exchange methods, including polled, cyclic, and

•

change of state (COS), that can be used to tr ansmit data betw een
the network and adapter.

1-1

Master-slave or peer-to-peer hierarchies that can be set up so

•

that the adapter and connected SP600 drive transmit data to and
from either a scanner or another SP600 drive on the network.

User-defined fault actions that determine how the adapter and

•

SP600 drive respond to communication disruptions on the
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 set the data rate
switch to “PGM” (Program). With the PGM setting, the adapter
uses parameter settings for the data rate and node address
instead of switch settings.

Chapter 4 provides instructions and information for setting the
parameters in the DeviceNet adapter.

For a list of parameters, refer to Appendix B, DeviceNet Adapter
Parameters. For definitions of terms in this chapter, refer to the
Glossary.

4.1 Configuration Tools

The DeviceNet adapter stores parameters and other information in
its own non-volatile memory. Therefore, you must access the
adapter to view and edit its parameters. Table 4.1 lists the tools that
can be used to access the adapter parameters.

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet is a Rockwell Software application that
can be used t o set up DeviceNet net wo rks and confi gure c onnec ted
devices.

4.3.1 Setting Up RSLinx for RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet

To use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, you must first set up a driver in
RSLinx. The driver provides a communications link between the
computer and DeviceNet network. See table 4.2 and figure 4.2 for
this procedure.
