5 assumptions, 6 hardware, 7 background knowledge – GE Industrial Solutions AF-650 GP DeviceNet User Manual
Page 7: 8 available literature, 9 abbreviations

1.5 Assumptions
These operating instructions assume that you are using a an AF-650 GP or AF-600 FP frequency converter with a DeviceNet option module installed in the drive..
It is also assumed that you are using a PLC or PC based scanner equipped with a serial communication card supporting all the DeviceNet communication services
required by your application. Furthermore, it is assumed that all requirements stipulated in the DeviceNet standard as well as those set up in the AC Drive Profile
and those pertaining to the frequency converter are strictly observed as well as all limitations therein fully respected.
1.6 Hardware
These operating instructions relate to the DeviceNet option Model No. OPCDEV.
1.7 Background Knowledge
The GE DeviceNet is designed to communicate with any master abiding by the DeviceNet standard. It is therefore assumed that you have full knowledge of the
PC or PLC you intend to use as a master in your system. Any questions pertaining to hardware or software produced by any other manufacturer is beyond the
scope of these operating instructions. If you have questions about how to set up master - master communication or communication to a non-GE slave, please
consult the appropriate documentation.
