The following chapter describes the connection of the DeviceNet slave INTECONT® Satus
to a DeviceNet master component group.
It describes the functionality of the DeviceNet connection, the data exchange between
DeviceNet master and the INTECONT® Satus, and contains notes on troubleshooting and
diagnosis. The DeviceNet hardware connection is described in the chapter ‘DeviceNet
Module VCB8020’.
15.1 Guidelines for commissioning
Preparing the hardware as described in the chapter DeviceNet Module VCB8020’..
n
Creating master parameter sets using the EDS file.
n
Setting the INTECONT® Satus - ‘Slave Address’ and ‘Baud Rate’ parameters
n
Start communication by the master
15.2 Functionality of the DeviceNet connection
n
Certified connection after DeviceNet specification 2.0.
n A cyclical data exchange is performed with the master. As a rule the POLL mode is used
for transferring I/O data.
n
Monitoring the bus interface
n
The VCB8020 is easily parametrized using the basic model’s operating station or the Ea-
syServe diagnostic tool.
