1 Introduction 1) Thank you for choosing Delta DVPDNET-SL. To ensure correct installation and operation of DVPDNET-SL,
please read this chapter carefully before using your DVPDNET-SL.
2) DVPDNET-SL running on the left side of PLC can serve as the DeviceNet master or slave with PLC MPU
together. It can be configured through DeviceNet software.
1.1 Features
z Serves as DeviceNet master by connecting to PLC MPU and Supports standard DeviceNet protocol.
z DeviceNet Builder provides convenient graphic configuration interface; automatically scans and
recognizes all slaves in the bus.
z Supports DeviceNet Master mode and Slave mode.
z Supports eight types of baud rates: 10 kbps, 20 kbps, 50 kbps, 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps, 800kbps,
1M kbps
1.2 Basic Functions of DVPDNET-SL
¾ DVPDNET-SL DeviceNet Network Scanner can be used both as a master or a slave in DeviceNet. When
being used as a master, it supports the following functions:
z Automatically carrying out the data exchange with PLC MPU. User needs only to operate the special
register in PLC to realize the monitoring of all slaves.
z Supports client function of explicit message.
z Supports slave to establish all kinds of I/O connections: polled, bit-strobed, change of state and cyclic.
z As the connection medium between DeviceNet Builder configuration software and DeviceNet network.
The configuration software is able to directly configure the network through DVPDNET-SL.
z Sending explicit messages for reading/writing the data in slave through PLC ladder diagrams.
z Max length for output data and input data are both 380 bytes.
¾ When being used as a slave, it supports the following functions:
z Explicit message serve and Group 2 only serve connection mode.
z Polling
z Offering 256 bytes for input data and 256 bytes for output data in data exchange with master.
z Automatically exchanging data with PLC MPU. The user needs only to edit the D register in the PLC
without using FROM/TO instruction.
z Max length for output data and input data are both 255 bytes.
