OVERVIEW
The BD-DEVNET is a DeviceNet-compatible 16-channel digital I/O adapter that allows DeviceNet
customers to integrate Opto 22 digital I/O mounting racks on the popular DeviceNet communication and
power network.
The BD-DEVNETs brain board form-factor and standard 50-pin header connector allows the
digital adapter to plug directly into Opto 22 digital I/O mounting racks similar to Opto 22s other
16-channel digital brain boards (B1, B5, and B100). The BD-DEVNET can be powered either from
the 5V on the I/O rack or from the standard DeviceNet 24 VDC bus power.
Software parameters, set using standard DeviceNet tools, allow the unit to be configured to
meet a wide range of industrial interface requirements. The BD-DEVNETs network node
address and operating speed may be set up using an eight position switch or as software
parameters. Network signals are connected using removable screw terminals, simplifying field
installation. The CAN interface includes on-board circuitry to protect against wiring faults such
as loss of ground and reverse polarity.
