Device Net Configuration

The Device Net expansion board is a Device Net Group 2 Only Slave device using the predefined master/slave connection set, as defined by the ODVA. It is capable of explicit messaging, as well as polled and/or COS/Cyclic I/O. The interface is based on the Baldor Binary Protocol (BBP) command set.

This EDS file (Electronic Data Sheets) is used by Device Net equipment to communicate with the BBP of the Baldor Device Net expansion board. The Baldor EDS file is provided on a diskette that is shipped with the expansion board. A Device Net configuration tool, such as Allen-Bradley “Device Net Manager” software should be used to configure the Device Net expansion board. The EDS file is also available on the Baldor World Wide WEB page (www.baldor.com).

EXB I/O Instances

The input and output assembly instances are predefined I/O data formats that can be selected based on your application. If an I/O connection is being used, the selected I/O assembly instance determines the size and format of the data. Only one input instance and one output instance can be selected. The Input and Output instances should be set using a Device Net configuration tool prior to connection to a host device.

Note: Instances 105 and 155 are factory preset. These instances must be properly set for your application.

Elements of an I/O instance can be 1 to 32 bits in length and can reference any of the Baldor Binary Protocol (BBP) transactions supported by the Device Net expansion board (see Section 6 of this manual). Each assembly instance can contain no more than 8 bytes.

Tables 5-1 and 5-2 defines the format of the Input and Output Assembly Instances.
