About this Manual:
This manual describes communications for the K3HB Digital Indicators and includes the sections
described below divided into two parts according to the type of communications.
Please read this manual carefully and be sure you understand the information provided before
attempting to setup or operate communications for a K3HB Digital Indicator.
Part 1: CompoWay/F
Section 1 describes CompoWay/F communications.
Section 2 provides a list of K3HB settings.
Part 2: DeviceNet
Section 1 introduces the features and specifications of K3HB-DRT Digital Indicators.
Section 2 outlines the basic operating procedures for the K3HB-DRT Digital Indicators.
Section 3 describes the methods used to install and wire K3HB-DRT Digital Indicators.
Section 4 describes the input (IN) areas and output (OUT) areas that K3HB-DRT Digital Indicators
can use for remote I/O communications. The methods to allocate data for master communications are
also described using sample programming.
Section 5 describes how to send explicit messages to the K3HB-DRT Digital Indicator, including how
to send CompoWay/F commands using explicit messages.
Section 6 provides information on the time required for a complete communications cycle, for an out-
put response to be made to an input, to start the system, and to send messages.
Section 7 describes error processing, periodic maintenance operations, and troubleshooting proce-
dures needed to keep the DeviceNet Network operating properly. Details on resetting replaced Digital
Indicators are also provided. Read through the error processing procedures in both this manual and
the operation manual for the DeviceNet master being used before operation so that operating errors
can be identified and corrected more quickly.
Section 8 provides DeviceNet specifications, tables of mounted objects, and tables of DeviceNet con-
nection hardware.
Part 3: BCD Output
Section 1 describes BCD communications using K3HB Digital Indicators.
