Devices
DeviceNet
TM
- devices are defined by “Vendor ID” and “Device Type”:
•
Vendor ID
0x28 (40)
•
Device Type
0x0C (12), Communication Adapter
10.1.3.1 Communication Model
10.1.3.1.1 Message Groups
DeviceNet
TM
messages are divided into different groups to obtain various
priorities:
•
Message group 1 is used for the exchange of I/O data via I/O messages
•
Message group 2 is provided for master/slave applications
•
Message group 3 is used to exchange configuration data via explicit
communication links
•
Message group 4 is reserved for future applications (e.g., “Offline
Connection Set”)
The so-called connection ID, which determines message priority, is established by
the various message groups and the DeviceNet
TM
station address “MAC ID” that
is set on the device.
10.1.3.1.2 Message Types
A distinction is made between two message types for DeviceNet
TM
:
•
I/O messages
•
Explicit messages
10.1.3.1.2.1 I/O Messages
The messages, primarily input/output data, are sent by a node and can be received
and processed by one or more nodes. No protocol data are specified in the data
field.
10.1.3.1.2.2 Explicit Messages
Explicit messages are directly transmitted from one node to the other. They
consist of a requirement and a reply. As such, services can be directly requested or
performed by a different subscriber. The data field contains, among other things,
the target address and the service identification. The format of explicit messages
is fixed. Explicit messages are used to configure devices or to create a dynamic
structure of communication links.
