AH10DNET-5A and anAH500 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 supportsDeviceNet protocol. The network configuration software DeviceNet Builder provides the handy graphicalconfiguration 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 scannermodules. Supporting 8 transmission speeds: 10 kbps, 20 kbps, 50 kbps, 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps,800 kbps and 1 Mbps.10.1.2 FunctionsAH10DNET-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 candirectly operate the specified register in an AH500 series CPU module to achieve the real-timemonitor of the slave. The configuration software can configure the network via the module as AH10DNET-5A servesas the connection medium between DeviceNet Builder configuration software and DeviceNetnetwork. 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 candirectly operate the specified register in an AH500 series CPU module to gain the control dataof the master and return the corresponding data to the master. The maximum input and output data length are both 1000 bytes.10.1.3 Specifications AH500 series CPU modules which are supportedItem SpecificationsModel name AH500 series PLCs DeviceNet interfaceItem SpecificationsTransmissionmethod CANElectrical isolation 500 V DCConnector Removable connector (5.08 mm)CommunicationcableRecommend to use Delta standard cables; TAP-CB01 and TAP-CB02.The communication cable should be away from the power cable andthe 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).
