Limitations of the Adept DeviceNet Scanner

The DeviceNet Scanner that Adept has incorporated into the AWC hardware and
+
the V operating system currently supports only a subset of full DeviceNet
functionality. The following is a summary of the DeviceNet implementation:
• Implemented the Master-Slave operation. This is a complete subset of
Peer-to-Peer operation.
• Implemented the Unconnected Message Manager (UCMM) in its DeviceNet
Scanner to establish connections.
• UCMM is used to establish I/O Connections.
• The Adept DeviceNet Scanner can be a Client or a Server on the network.
• The Adept DeviceNet Scanner currently does not support Cyclic or
Change-of-State connections.
• Only I/O Messaging is supported. I/O messages contain only data.
• Currently, only the Message Group 2 of the Predefined Master/Slave Connection
Set is supported.
• Adept Message Group 2 I/O connections support only the I/O Poll
Command/Response Message of the possible message types.
• The Adept DeviceNet Scanner does not support Cyclic or Change-of-State
connections.
