Rockwell Automation 1203-GK5 DeviceNet Communications Module FRN 1.xxx-3.xxx - Manual (Page 14)

1-2 Overview
Figure 1.2
Example DeviceNet Network
In Figure 1.2, Node 1 and Node 2 use a 1203-GK5 module to connect
to the DeviceNet network, and Node 3 uses a 1336-GM5 board to
connect to it. SCANport cables connect 1203-GK5 modules to their
SCANport products. DeviceNet cables connect the modules and
board to the DeviceNet network. The modules and board then convert
DeviceNet messages into SCANport messages for the product.
Features of the 1203-GK5 Module
and 1336-GM5 Board The DeviceNet network is an open, global industry-standard
communication network designed to provide an interface through a
single cable from a programmable controller directly to “smart”
devices such as sensors, push buttons, motor starters, and drives.
The 1203-GK5 module and 1336-GM5 board let you connect your
SCANport products to a DeviceNet network. They feature the
following:
• DIP switches let you configure the module or board before
connecting it to the network. (The module or board can also be
configured using parameters which software tools such as
DeviceNet Manager, RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet, and
DriveExplorer™ can access.)
• Faulted Node Recovery lets you change the node address of a
device when it is bus-off on the network. (This feature requires
the support of proper software tools, and DIP switches SW 2-7
and SW 2-8 must be set to the On position.)
• User fault response configuration provides the ability to
customize the adapter actions to communication errors.
• LEDs help to diagnose network and SCANport product health.
• With simple polling operation, the adapter can pass I/O between a
controller and SCANport product.
