6.8 DeviceNet Communication Link

DeviceNet is a communications link that connects industrial I/O devices to a message-
packeting network. All nodes connect to the same backbone cable, eliminating the need for
individual wiring for each I/O point.

Adept incorporates the following DeviceNet-ready hardware in the Adept Cobra s-series robot:

l

Male micro-style 12 mm thread DIN connector at the robot base (see Figure 6-2).

l

Female micro-style 12 mm thread DIN connector for joint 2 of the robot (see Figure 6-5
and Figure 6-15).

l

A non-standard DeviceNet cable, consisting of two shielded twisted pairs that connect
the base and joint 2 connectors. Adept considers this cabling to be a drop line with a
maximum total length of 6 meters (20 feet) and therefore uses the following wire sizes:

Wire

Adept

DeviceNet
“thin cable”

Power pairs

24 AWG

22 AWG

Signal pairs

28 AWG

24 AWG

This means that total current on the power pairs must be limited to 2 A instead
