CONFIGURED USING CRIMSON SOFTWARE (VERSION 2.0 OR
LATER)
DIGITALLY ISOLATED DeviceNet PORT CAPABLE OF
COMMUNICATING WITH ANY DeviceNet MASTER
EASY INSTALLATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Both the Modular Controller Master (enhanced models) and Data Station
Plus contain a proprietary expansion port which provides a high speed, parallel
architecture that extends the functionality and flexibility of the platform. This
approach allows these products to evolve concurrently with the latest advances
in communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high
bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the
traditional (external) serial gateway approach.
The XCDN option card adds a DeviceNet slave communication port to the
series. This isolated card protects user equipment from potentially harmful
ground loops while providing the ability to communicate to any high speed
DeviceNet master. Additionally, the XCDN connector is pluggable for easy
removal of the Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus from the
DeviceNet bus without disturbing communications with other devices on the
bus.
The XCDN communication card is easily installed by removing the blank
expansion port cover of your Modular Controller or Data Station Plus, and
plugging the XCDN card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple using
Red Lion's free Crimson 2.0 software.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.
