Rockwell Automation 1203-GK5 DeviceNet Communications Module FRN 1.xxx-3.xxx - Manual (Page 11)

Using this Manual P-3
Safety Precautions Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
Terms and Abbreviations The following terms and abbreviations are specific to this product.
For a complete listing of Rockwell Automation terminology, refer to
the Industrial Automation Glossary, Publication AG-7.1.
!
ATTENTION: Only personnel familiar with Allen-
Bradley SCANport products and associated machinery
should plan or implement the installation, start-up,
configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the
1203-GK5 or 1336-GM5 DeviceNet communications
adapter. Failure to comply may result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
!
ATTENTION: Remove all power from the SCANport
product before installing the 1336-GM5 board. Failure
to disconnect power may result in death or serious injury.
Verify all power is removed before installing the
1336-GM5 board.
!
ATTENTION: Hazard of equipment damage exists. If
explicit messages are programmed to frequently write
parameter data to certain drive products, the EEPROM
(Non-Volatile Storage) will quickly exceed its life cycle
and cause the product to malfunction. Do not create a
program that frequently uses explicit messages to write
parameter data to a product. Datalinks do not write to
the EEPROM and should be used for frequently changed
parameters.
Terms Definition
DeviceNet An open network that provides probabilistic I/O control through a
managed bit-wise non-destructive multiplexing scheme.
SCANport A standard peripheral communications interface for various Rockwell
Automation drives and power products.
SCANport
Peripheral A device that provides an interface between SCANport and a network. It is
often referred to as an adapter. For example, the DeviceNet adapter is a
SCANport peripheral.
SCANport
Product A device that uses the SCANport communications interface to
communicate with one or more peripheral devices. For example, a motor
drive such as a 1336 PLUS is a SCANport product.
DeviceNet
Adapter Both the 1203-GK5 module and the 1336-GM5 board are DeviceNet
adapters. In this manual, the term “adapter” is used when both the module
and the board are referred to.
