FS–8700–114
X30 DeviceNet Master Adapter Driver
Description
The X30 DeviceNet Master Adapter driver can be used to emulate a single Master Scanner station on a DeviceNet network. The FieldServer DeviceNet adapter is implemented as an ODVA profile 12 communications adapter. Standard DeviceNet Baudrates of 125k, 250k and 500kbit/s are supported. The DeviceNet Master Scanner can open IO connections of up to a total of 512 Bytes in each direction to DeviceNet Slaves. The Driver can handle up to 63 Slaves since one of the station addresses needs to be assigned to the Master itself.
