DeviceNet Cable System Layout
for Medium Voltage Controller Structures
The DeviceNet trunk line assembly is mounted in a 6 inch by 6 inch low
voltage wireway, which is mounted on the top of the main structure.
(Refer to Figure 3.1).

It may be necessary to remove the low voltage wireway,
to prepare the structure for shipment. It is then the
responsibility of the end-user to properly re-install the
low voltage wireway
The DeviceNet drop lines are routed into the low voltage panels of each
starter unit by connecting to the trunk line within the low voltage wireway.
The connection points in the low voltage wireway are ―quick connect‖
type Chet-Magnum connectors. The trunk line is typically terminated at
each end of the line-up, using termination resistors (see page 3-2). The
connection of the trunk line in adjacent controller structures is facilitated
using the same Chet-Magnum connectors (see Chapter 4).
Each controller unit has two independent DeviceNet connection points
within the low voltage panel for that unit. The devices installed within
the controller low voltage panel are connected using these points.
Please refer to Figure 3.1, for an example of how the DeviceNet trunk
and drop lines are routed within the structure of the medium voltage
controllers.
