2. Before Starting
2.1. Background & Assumptions
This manual is a supplement to the SLA5800/SLAMf Series Pressure
Controller Operation Manual. It is assumed that the owner of this
SLA5800/SLAMf Series PC is thoroughly familiar with the theory and
operation of a SLA5800/SLAMf Series PC. If not, it is recommended that the
owner read the Operations Manual first before continuing with this
supplement.
This manual assumes a basic knowledge and understanding of DeviceNet
(it’s topology and its method of logically accessing the data or parameters
contained within a device). This manual also assumes basic knowledge and
understanding regarding the operation of Pressure Controllers. This manual
is not intended to be a replacement to the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendors
Association) specification, which is still the authoritative definition and
description of DeviceNet communications. It is recommended, but not
required for the purposes of this manual, that the user obtain a copy of the
DeviceNet specification from ODVA
(
http://www.odva.org/
).
This manual does not make any assumptions about any particular
manufacturer of equipment or custom software used by the user to
communicate with the Brooks device, but assumes the user has thorough
understanding of such equipment and any configuration software.
2.2. Compliance
The SLA5800/SLAMf Series Pressure Controller (PC) conforms to the ODVA
standards as a Vender Specified Device Profile adapted to a PC device. The
SLA5800/SLAMf Series PC device has been operationally certified by ODVA
at the Conformance Test Lab in
Ann Arbor, Michigan
. The test verified that
the device conforms to all specifications required of a DeviceNet capable
device, the Vendor Specific Device Profile for a PC and its supporting
objects.
