4.2. Embedded DeviceNet Slave Info and setting​

 

Set the parameters, such as communication speed and the CAN port, and configure the connected slaves to use the embedded DeviceNet slave function. Follow the next procedure.

 

(1)   Select 『[F2]: System』 → 『2: Control parameter』 → 『2: Input/Output signal setting』 → 『13: Embedded DeviceNet slave Info and setting』.

(2)   Select the following items and “On” to use them, and then click the “[F6]: Apply” button to operate the DeviceNet slave function.

 

n Use: For selecting whether to activate the DeviceNet slave function.

∙       On: activate the embedded DeviceNet slave function

∙       Off: deactivate the embedded DeviceNet slave function

 

n CAN port: set the CAN port to connect to the embedded DeviceNet slave communication.

∙       CAN1(BD5B2): connect DeviceNet to the BD5B2 board

∙       CAN2(BD574): connect DeviceNet to the BD574 board

 

n Communication speed:  

For setting the communication speed of DeviceNet. The communication speeds that can be use for the embedded Device slave are 125Kbps, 250Kbps and 500Kbps.

 

n Node address:  

For setting the MAC ID (Node address) of the embedded DeviceNet slave. The allowable range for setting the node address is 0~63.

 

n Size of input and output data:

For setting the size of the input and output data of the embedded DeviceNet slave. The allowable range for setting the size of input and output data is 1~120.

 

n Communication error handling:

An option for handling input data (FB5.X object) when a communication error occurs to DeviceNet.

∙       Clear the input data: When a communication error occurs, the FB5.X object will clear the value to be “0”.

∙       Keep the input data: When a communication error occurs, the FB5.X object will maintain the existing value.

 

n DeviceNet slave status: For showing the network status of the embedded DeviceNet slave.

 

 

The embedded DeviceNet slave function cannot be used while the BD570x CC-Link function is being used.
