DeviceNet Communication Adapter

1.1 Product Overview

1.1.1 Function

This adapter is installed on any TSX Momentum I/O base to form a complete I/O
module that communicates on a DeviceNet network. A programmable controller
or other DeviceNet master device on the network can then read from the input
terminals and write to the output terminals of the I/O base.

For information about the use of I/O data words in communication with I/O bases,
refer to the TSX Momentum I/O Bases User Manual, part number 870 USE 002.

remove the adapter. The user can fill out the front panel wiring label to identify the
wiring connections and application of the I/O base terminals.

Network Compatibility

The adapter complies with the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA)
Specification Release 2.0 for for group 2 only slave devices supporting polled and
strobed connections.

For a complete description of the DeviceNet network, including software operation
of this device on the network, physical installation and wiring guidelines, refer to
the DeviceNet specification published by ODVA. Current information about the
ODVA specification can be obtained at the ODVA Web site: http://www.odva.org

ODVA Vendor ID

The ODVA Vendor ID number for Schneider Automation is 243 decimal.

Operating Voltages and Error Control

Power for the adapter and I/O base is provided by the user at the field location.
The adapter receives its operating voltage through its I/O base internal connection.
The adapter monitors its voltage and goes offline to the network if the voltage is
not within tolerance.
