Connecting Cables
Connecting
Communications
Cables
Use the following procedure when connecting the cables. For details, refer to
5-2 Connecting Communications Cables
in the
DeviceNet DRT2 Series
Slaves Operation Manual
(W404).
1.
Assemble the communications cables.
Prepare the communications cables and attach the connectors to the ca-
bles.
2.
Connect the cables to the nodes.
Connect the communications cable connectors to the node connectors on
the Master Unit, T-branch Taps, and DeviceNet Communications Unit.
Wiring the Unit Power
Supply
Crimp pin terminals to the Unit power supply cable. Connect the cable to the
DeviceNet Communications Unit’s screwless clamping terminals that supply
the DeviceNet Communications Unit’s internal circuits and the connected
Slice I/O Units’ internal circuits.
Wiring the I/O Power
Supply
Crimp pin terminals to the I/O power supply cable. Connect the cable to the
DeviceNet Communications Unit’s screwless clamping terminals that provide
the I/O power supply for I/O devices connected to the Slice I/O Units.
Wiring I/O
Crimp pin terminals to the I/O signal lines. Connect the I/O signal lines to the
Slice I/O Units connected to the DeviceNet Communications Unit.

Starting Communications
After setting and wiring the hardware, turn ON the communications power
supply, the internal power supply of each node, and the I/O power supply, and
then start communications using the following procedure.

Creating I/O Tables for the Master Unit
I/O tables must be created in the CPU Unit to distinguish between the different
Slaves mounted to the PLC. Turn ON the PLC to which the Master Unit is
mounted, connect the Peripheral Devices to the PLC, and create the I/O
tables. After the I/O tables have been created, turn OFF the power to the PLC.
