NTRODUCTION
The DN-3000 is an intelligent, multiple-function DeviceNet Data Transfer Unit designed for use within
the harsh industrial environment.
Using the DN-3000 Configuration Editor Software program, the DN-3000 can be programmed to run
either of the two (2) following application types:
1) D
EVICE
N
ET TO
PLC
S OR
D
EVICES
Allows a DeviceNet Host to read or write data registers in
one or more PLCs or Devices that use the same protocol. One of the DN-3000’s three ports can be
used as a pass-through port in which all messages received are simply passed through to one of the
connected PLCs/Devices (if supported for that PLC/Device protocol), allowing PLC programming
software, a third party’s intelligent (MMI) Man-Machine Interface terminal or a SCADA software
program to be “connected” to the same port on the PLCs/Devices used by the DN-3000.

Allows a DeviceNet Host to control and/or monitor parameters
in up to 32 Motor Drives.
This manual is presented in two sections. Each section deals with the configuration requirements for each
of the above applications: DeviceNet to PLCs and DeviceNet to Motor Drives.
Please note that the application type is selected when a new project is created using the DN-3000
configuration software and may not be changed after the project is created.
