3.1. CAN port of the embedded DeviceNet

3.1. CAN port of the embedded DeviceNet

 

DeviceNet is the CAN-based industrial communication standard, and the Hi5a controller provides two CAN ports for the embedded DeviceNet.

 

One CAN port is embedded in the main board (BD511), and the CAN port can be added by installing the additional BD574 board.

 

l Main board (BD511) CAN port

 

Embedded DeviceNet can be used through the CAN port mounted on the main board (BD511). In this case, connect the DeviceNet cable to the BD5B2 board because the main board (BD511) has already been connected to the BD5B2 board by the CAN cable of the controller.

 

 

Figure 3.1 BD5B2 Board

 

 

The BD5B2 terminal board is located on the right plate when opening a controller door.

 

For further details on DeviceNet cable connection, refer to [3.2. Connect DeviceNet to the BD5B2 board].

 

 

l Using the CAN port of BD574

 

The BD574 board can be mounted on the main board (BD511) optionally. In this case, connect the DeviceNet cable directly to the BD574 board.
