Usage Recommendations
• Loosen the cable clamp screws on the connector before inserting cables into the network
connector. The cables cannot be fixed when the screws are kept tightened.
• The colors corresponding to cable colors are printed on the device connector of the DN311.
Match the cable colors with the printed colors to ensure the correct wiring.
The DN311 and DN611 (DeviceNet module for the V Series model 2000) are different from
each other in the direction in which the network connector is attached.
• DeviceNet cables, power taps, and device taps (for connecting the trunk cables and drop
cables) are necessary when constructing a DeviceNet system. Refer to 3.6 Network Com-
ponents for details.
Some of the network components may have to be procured by the user.
