Communication protocol 978Communication protocolWhat this chapter containsThis chapter describes the DeviceNet communication protocol forthe adapter module and the configuration of the scanner. Fordetailed information on DeviceNet communication, refer to ODVADeviceNet Specifications Release 2.0.DeviceNetDeviceNet is a protocol based on the CAN technology. CANspecifies the physical layer interface. DeviceNet specifies thewiring and the data transfer through CAN.The FDNA-01 module is a device acting as a Group 2 only Serverrealizing the Predefined Master Slave Connection Set functionality.The Off-line Connection Set functionality and UnconnectedMessage Manager (UCMM) are not supported.Object modeling and functional propertiesOne of the main features of DeviceNet is object modeling. A groupof objects can be described with a Functional Profile. The FDNA-01 adapter module realizes the ODVA AC/DC drive FunctionalProfile with additional features.
