Fieldbus gateways
Select the DeviceNet address in the
DeviceNet address
field.
Select the baud rate in the
DeviceNet baud rate
field.
Click
Connect
to go online and transfer the configuration to the Flexi Soft system.
The address that can be set via the hardware address switch ranges from 1-63.
The address that can be set via the Flexi Soft Designer software ranges from 0-63.
The DeviceNet master cannot overwrite the address.
If the DeviceNet address and the baud rate are set using the Flexi Soft Designer, the
settings will become effective immediately after transferring the configuration (i.e.
withut switching off and switching on the Flexi Soft system). Exception: If the system is
in the Bus Off state, then you must switch off and on again the device for the changes
to become effective.
Plug assignment
The connection to the DeviceNet fieldbus is made using a 5-pin open style connector.

Bus cable
DeviceNet is based on CAN and is therefore a 2-wire bus system to which all bus users are
connected in parallel. Short stubs are also possible. The signal wires H and L must be ter-
minated at both ends of the bus using a 120
`
resistor. The screen must be continuous
over the entire length of the bus and earthed at one point. It is recommended to use a
twisted-pair cable with two twisted, screened pairs of cores. The 24 V supply voltage is
connected to the second pair of cores.
The transmission rate, depending on the network length, is between 125 kbit/s and
500 kbit/s. The possible network lengths are 100 m at 500 kbit/s up to 500 m at
125 kbit/s.
