Hardware Setup

DIP Switch Settings

This procedure will configure the Device Net Expansion Board for communication with a computer or terminal. Reference Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1 for the following procedure.

1.Set DIP switches 1 and 2 for the desired baud rate.

2.Set switches 3 through 8 for the ID number desired.

3.Install the Device Net expansion board in the Series H control as instructed in Section 3 of this manual.

Note: The switch settings can be changed after the board is powered up. However, switch changes will not take effect until the board is reset (by pushing PB1 or by turning power off then on).

Cable Connection

1.Connect the Device Net wires to the 5 pin connector provided with the expansion board as shown in Figure 4-1.

Note: The Device Net bus must provide 24VDC power to the expansion board.

2.If a terminator is required, connect a 120 ohm terminating resistor across pins 2 and 4 of the modular connector (CAN– and CAN+).

Powerup

When the Device Net expansion board is powered up it will perform the following:

1.Perform a self test.

2.Check the switch settings for configuration information.

3.Verify communications with the Series H control board.

4.Check for power on the Device Net bus.

5.Perform a Duplicate MAC ID check to determine if any other devices on the network have the same MAC ID number.

6.Go online.

After powerup, both LED’s should be GREEN.

Refer to the LED Indicators description in this section of the manual.
