Section 3 Operation
DeviceNet
is similar to the RS485 standard in that it is a multi-drop connection
that allows a maximum of 64 devices to be connected on the same network.
Baud rate selections for DeviceNet
products are 125K, 250K and 500K and
can be selected via rate switch mounted on the device.
The DeviceNet
communication link also provides access to many of the
Brooks SLAMf Digital Series functions for “control and monitor” operations,
including:
• Accurate setpoint adjustment and flow output measurement (including
units of measure selection)
• PID Settings (controller only)
• Valve Override (controller only)
• Calibration Gas Select
• Soft Start Control (controller only)
Default value for dncFullScaleCounts is 0 x 6000. Please reference supple-
mental manual for additional information.
For information describing communications specifically for Brooks DeviceNet
units, reference the following supplemental manual:
X-DPT-DeviceNet-SLA5800-SLAMf-Series-RevB-MFC-eng
Part Number: 541B190AAG.
Profibus Communications Features
The communication electronics allows for automatic baud rate detection
ranging from 9600 baud to 12 Mbaud, thus making the need for any hardware
baud rate selection methods not required. For selecting the device address,
which must be unique on the network, two rotary switches are provided. This
allows a user to easily select any address number ranging from 0 to 126. This
can provide fast device replacement without complex network configurations.
The Profibus-DP communication option supports the following message
types:
• Cyclic data exchange (Write/Read data).
• Read inputs (e.g. status, flow, temperature, totalizer, etc.).
• Read outputs (e.g. commands, setpoint).
• Global control commands (e.g. fail safe, sync).
• Get configuration (i.e. read number of I/O bytes and composition).
• Read diagnostics information (i.e. get error and alarm status).
• Set parameters (i.e. select gas number, engineering units, I/O configuration
• Set parameters (i.e. select gas number, engineering units, I/O
configuration etc.).
• Check configuration (i.e. check I/O composition).
Please rreference the supplemental manual below for information regarding
compatibility with previous versions of Profibus.
