Introduction

1. To make sure that you are able to correctly install and operate IFD9502, please read this chapter carefully
before starting to use IFD9502 and keep this handy for your quick reference.
2. This chapter only provides introductory information and guidelines on IFD9502. Details of DeviceNet protocol
are not included. For more information on DeviceNet protocol, please refer to relevant references or
literatures.
3. IFD9502 is defined as DeviceNet slave communication module to be used on the connection between
DeviceNet network and Delta programmable logic controller, Delta AC motor drive, Delta servo drive, Delta
temperature controller and Delta human machine interface. In addition, the custom function of IFD9502
allows the custom equipment with Modbus protocol to connect to DeviceNet network.

1.1 IFD9502 Brief

1. MODULE STATUS indicator and NETWORK STATUS indicator display the connection status between
IFD9502 and DeviceNet. SCAN PORT indicator displays the connection status between IFD9502 and the
equipments. For more details on LED indicators, see 12.4.
2. IFD9502 sets up its node address in DeviceNet by two rotary switches. For more details on the switches, see
12.2.
3. Functions of DIP switches: selecting equipments connected to IFD9502, selecting communication port of
IFD9502, setting up the baud rate between IFD9502 and the master. For more details on DIP switches, see
12.2.
4. DeviceNet interface connects IFD9502 to DeviceNet network. For more details, see 12.2.
5. The communication ports allows IFD9502 to connect with Delta programmable logic controller, Delta AC
motor drive, Delta temperature controller, Delta servo drive, Delta human machine interface and equipment
with Modbus protocol. For more details, see 12.2.
