2-6 Installation
Installing a 1336-GM6 Board Follow these procedures to install a 1336-GM6 board.
Required Tools and Equipment
To install your 1336-GM6 board, you will need the following tools
and equipment:
• Enhanced DeviceNet communications board (1336-GM6).
• A kit that includes one grounding wrist strap, four Phillips
mounting screws, four stand-off nylon headers, one 5-pin
connector and one snap-in comm housing with mounting
instructions (supplied with board).
• #1 Phillips screwdriver.
• Appropriate cable for the DeviceNet connection. Refer to the
Selecting Cables section below.
Selecting Cables
To connect the Enhanced DeviceNet adapter to the SCANport
product and the DeviceNet network, you must select an appropriate
DeviceNet cable. Use the following information to select appropriate
cables for each connection.
DeviceNet Cables
The 1336-GM6 board comes with one 5-pin connector. A drop line
connects a node, such as an adapter, on the DeviceNet cable system to
the DeviceNet trunk. When selecting a drop line, you need to:
• Use the 5-pin connector for the cable if you are using a
DeviceNet drop cable configuration.
• Determine limitations of the trunk and drop cables. Refer to the
following table.
For more information on DeviceNet cables and cable systems, refer to
the DeviceNet Cable System Planning and Installation Manual,
Publication DN-6.7.2.
