Delta AH500 - 10.1 Introduction

Chapter 10 DeviceNet Communication Module AH10DNET
10-3
10.1 Introduction
AH10DNET-5A is installed at the right side of an AH500 series CPU module. AH10DNET-5A and an
AH500 series CPU module constitute the DeviceNet master or slave.
10.1.1 Feature
 Constitutes the DeviceNet master by connecting an AH500 series CPU module and supports
DeviceNet protocol.
 The network configuration software DeviceNet Builder provides the handy graphical
configuration interface and automatically scans and recognizes all slaves on the bus.
 Supports DeviceNet master and slave mode.
 An AH500 series CPU module could be expanded by connecting 8 AH10DNET-5A scanner
modules.
 Supporting 8 transmission speeds: 10 kbps, 20 kbps, 50 kbps, 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps,
800 kbps and 1 Mbps.
10.1.2 Functions
AH10DNET-5A can be used as DeviceNet master as well as slave.
As a master, AH10DNET-5A can provide the following function.
 Automatically performing the data exchange with an AH500 series CPU module; users can
directly operate the specified register in an AH500 series CPU module to achieve the real-time
monitor of the slave.
 The configuration software can configure the network via the module as AH10DNET-5A serves
as the connection medium between DeviceNet Builder configuration software and DeviceNet
network.
 Supports to send the explicit message to monitor the slave through PLC program.
 The maximum input and output data length are both 980 bytes.
As a slave, AH10DNET-5A can provide the following function.
 Automatically performing the data exchange with an AH500 series CPU module; users can
directly operate the specified register in an AH500 series CPU module to gain the control data
of the master and return the corresponding data to the master.
 The maximum input and output data length are both 1000 bytes.

cable
Recommend to use Delta standard cables; TAP-CB01 and TAP-CB02.
The communication cable should be away from the power cable and
the shielded cable should be connected to the ground.
Voltage
DeviceNet network provides 11~25 V direct current. e.g. 28 mA
(Typical value), 125 mA impulse current (24 V DC).
