7.8 DeviceNet Communication Link
DeviceNet is a communications link that connects industrial I/O devices to a
message-packeting network. All devices 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:
• Female connector for the robot tower; Micro-style 12 mm thread DIN female
connector (see Figure 7-3 on page 83 and Figure 7-13 on page 96 )
• Male Micro-style 12 mm thread DIN connector at the robot base (see Figure 7-2 on
page 83 ).
• A non-standard DeviceNet cable consisting of two shielded twisted pairs that
connect the above connectors. Adept considers this cabling to be a drop line with a
maximum total length of 6 meters and therefore uses the following wire sizes:

Power pairs 24 AWG 22 AWG
Signal pairs 28 AWG 24 AWG
