Introduction Introduction The DeviceNet interface can be used to read and write data to the indicator using a PLC or another primary controller. This manual provides information for installation and use of this product. The DeviceNet interface is installed inside the indicator enclosure and installation in NEMA Type 4X stainless steel enclosures permits use in washdown environments.
DeviceNet Interface Installation DeviceNet Interface specific functions are provided by a DeviceNet module. The module plugs into an open option card slot on the CPU board and provides power and access from the indicator bus to the DeviceNet module. See the indicator Technical Manual for installation instructions.

DeviceNet Interface 880 Universal Installation Instructions 1. Disconnect power to the indicator. 2. Remove the backplate of the universal enclosure to access the CPU board. 3. Carefully slide the module into the J1 connector on the carrier board, ensuring that the pins of J1 are not bent.
LED Status Indicators and Connector An LED array on the 720i module provides status information for troubleshooting. • LED 1 provides network status • LED 2 provides status indication for the DeviceNet module Figure 2-6. DeviceNet Status LED Module Network Status LED (Item 1)
DeviceNet Interface Commands Commands are used by the primary device to send and receive data from the interface as integer or floating-point data. The primary sends eight bytes in the output format to write commands to the indicator and reads eight bytes in the input format to read data from the indicator.
DeviceNet Interface 3.2.1 Command number The first word echoes the command number. If the command fails or is not recognized, the negative of the command number is returned to signal the error. 3.2.2 Status Data Indicator status data is returned in the second word (Table 3-6).
DeviceNet Interface 3.2.3 Value Weight data is returned to the primary in the third and fourth words of the input command format, depending on the command and the value type. The weight data returned is the displayed weight after the command is executed, unless the command specifies otherwise.

DeviceNet Interface Enable Bus Command Handler Command: 128, 0x80 Parameter: None Command 128 enables the bus command handler in a user program. While this handler is enabled, all other PLC commands are disabled. No Operation Command: 253, 0x0FD Parameter: Scale number Command 253 provides a command to use between operations, as necessary, without causing the indicator to perform any action.

DeviceNet Interface Set Setpoint Bandwidth as Float Command: 306, 0x132 Parameter: Setpoint number Value: Bandwidth value Command 306 sets the bandwidth value for the specified setpoint in floating-point format. This command is valid only when the setpoint is configured and requires a bandwidth value.
