Connecting to a DeviceNet Network
A DeviceNet network is an arrangement of electrical power and
device distribution. A DeviceNet network is planned and adjusted for
optimal communications.
Before proceeding to add devices, you need to record the following:
• Network data rate
• Network cable system map (topology) to which you are connecting
• Distances between cable system components
• Device current draw and voltage drop for each device on the
network
• Limitation of the trunk and drop cables
Refer to the table below for recommended trunk and drop lengths.
Refer to the DeviceNet
publication
, for specific guidance in calculating and
attaching the Ultra5000 to a network.
