    Basic DeviceNet principles Basic DeviceNet principles Introduction to the system DeviceNet is an open system based on CAN. CAN was developed some years ago by R. Bosch for data transmission in motor vehicles. Millions of CAN chips are now in use. A disadvantage for application in automation is that CAN does not contain definitions for the application layer.

    Mounting and cabling • Pull (4) the terminal module away from the mounting surface. Avoid canting of the module; you should stabilize the module with the other hand, if required. DeviceNet wiring 4.5.1 CAN / DeviceNet topology CAN/DeviceNet is a 2-wire bus system, to which all participating devices are connected in parallel (i.e. using short drop lines) (Fig.

  • Page 20: Bus Length

    Mounting and cabling Fig. 14: Low interference through difference levels 4.5.2 Bus length The maximum length of a CAN bus is primarily limited by the signal propagation delay. The multi-master bus access procedure (arbitration) requires signals to reach all the nodes at effectively the same time (before the sampling within a bit period).

  • Page 21: Star Hub (Multiport Tap)

    Shorter drop line lengths must be maintained when passive distributors ("multiport taps"), such as the Beckhoff ZS5052-4500 Distributor Box. The following table indicates the maximum drop line lengths and the maximum length of the trunk line (without the drop lines): Guide values The following values are recommended by BECKHOFF.

(This is only recommended for networks of small physical size with a common power supply for all the participating devices).

  • Page 32: Parameterization And Commissioning

    Parameterization and commissioning Parameterization and commissioning CoE Interface General description The CoE interface (CANopen over EtherCAT) is used for parameter management of EtherCAT devices. EtherCAT slaves or the EtherCAT master manage fixed (read only) or variable parameters which they require for operation, diagnostics or commissioning. CoE parameters are arranged in a table hierarchy.

  • Page 33: Fig. 25 "Coe Online " Tab

    Data management If slave CoE parameters are modified online, Beckhoff devices store any changes in a fail-safe manner in the EEPROM, i.e. the modified CoE parameters are still available after a restart. The situation may be different with other manufacturers.

  • Page 34: Fig. 26 Startup List In The Twincat System Manager

    Changes in the local CoE list of the terminal are lost if the terminal is replaced. If a terminal is re- placed with a new Beckhoff terminal, it will have the default settings. It is therefore advisable to link all changes in the CoE list of an EtherCAT slave with the Startup list of the slave, which is pro- cessed whenever the EtherCAT fieldbus is started.

    This is generally written as 0x80n0. Detailed information on the CoE interface can be found in the EtherCAT system documentation on the Beckhoff website. General notes for setting the watchdog ELxxxx terminals are equipped with a safety feature (watchdog) that switches off the outputs after a specifiable time e.g.

  • Page 37: Fig. 29 Ethercat Tab -> Advanced Settings -> Behavior -> Watchdog

  • Page 38: Ethercat State Machine

    Parameterization and commissioning Example "Set SM watchdog" This checkbox enables manual setting of the watchdog times. If the outputs are set and the EtherCAT communication is interrupted, the SM watchdog is triggered after the set time and the outputs are erased. This setting can be used for adapting a terminal to a slower EtherCAT master or long cycle times.

  • Page 39: Fig. 30 States Of The Ethercat State Machine

    Parameterization and commissioning Fig. 30: States of the EtherCAT State Machine Init After switch-on the EtherCAT slave in the Init state. No mailbox or process data communication is possible. The EtherCAT master initializes sync manager channels 0 and 1 for mailbox communication. Pre-Operational (Pre-Op) During the transition between Init and Pre-Op the EtherCAT slave checks whether the mailbox was initialized correctly.
  • Page 40 Parameterization and commissioning Boot In the Boot state the slave firmware can be updated. The Boot state can only be reached via the Init state. In the Boot state mailbox communication via the file access over EtherCAT (FoE) protocol is possible, but no other mailbox communication and no process data communication.

    Error handling and diagnostics DeviceNet / CAN Trouble Shooting Error Frames One sign of errors in the CAN wiring, the address assignment or the setting of the baud rate is an increased number of error frames: the diagnostic LEDs then show Warning Limit exceeded or Bus-off state entered. DeviceNet / CAN network analysis CAN warning limit exceeded, passive error or bus-off state are indicated first of all at the node that has detected the most errors.
  • Page 95 At all connecting points, branches and so forth the screen of the CAN cable (and possibly the CAN GND) must also be connected, as well as the signal leads. In the Beckhoff IP20 Bus Couplers, the screen is grounded for high frequencies via an R/C element.
  • Page 96 DeviceNet experts - the Beckhoff support team [} 111] can help here. A free channel on a Beckhoff FC5102 CANopen PCI card is appropriate for such a trace - Beckhoff make the necessary trace software available on the internet. Alternatively, it is of course possible to use a normal commercial CAN analysis tool.
