Description

The X30 DeviceNet Slave Adapter driver can be used to emulate a single slave station on a DeviceNet network. The FieldServer DeviceNet adapter is implemented as an ODVA profile 12 communications adapter and acts as a group 2 only server on the DeviceNet network. Standard DeviceNet baudrates of 125k, 250k and 500kbit/s are supported. DeviceNet masters/scanners can open an IO connection of up to 512 Bytes in each direction to the FieldServer.
