Section 1 - Introduction
Brooks DeviceNet PCs
1. Introduction
Many applications of Pressure devices and Flow Meters/Controllers are
moving to increasing use of automation. Automation comes in many forms:
PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers, DCS’s (Distributed Control
Systems, and PC-based solutions. Digital communications from these varied
automation systems and the devices they measure and control are a very
effective means of not only accomplishing more effective and rapid system
integration, but also providing greatly improved system diagnostics and
maintainability. DeviceNet™is an open digital protocol capable of high
speeds and easy system connectivity. Brooks Instrument has several of its
devices available on this popular networking standard, and is a member of
ODVA™ (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association), the governing standard
body for DeviceNet.

Section 2 - Before Starting
Brooks DeviceNet PCs
2. Before Starting
2.1. Background & Assumptions
This manual is a supplement to the SLA5800/SLAMf Series Pressure
Controller Operation Manual. It is assumed that the owner of this
SLA5800/SLAMf Series PC is thoroughly familiar with the theory and
operation of a SLA5800/SLAMf Series PC. If not, it is recommended that the
owner read the Operations Manual first before continuing with this
supplement.
This manual assumes a basic knowledge and understanding of DeviceNet
(it’s topology and its method of logically accessing the data or parameters
contained within a device). This manual also assumes basic knowledge and
understanding regarding the operation of Pressure Controllers. This manual
is not intended to be a replacement to the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendors
Association) specification, which is still the authoritative definition and
description of DeviceNet communications. It is recommended, but not
required for the purposes of this manual, that the user obtain a copy of the
DeviceNet specification from ODVA(http://www.odva.org/).
This manual does not make any assumptions about any particular
manufacturer of equipment or custom software used by the user to
communicate with the Brooks device, but assumes the user has thorough
understanding of such equipment and any configuration software.
2.2. Compliance
The SLA5800/SLAMf Series Pressure Controller (PC) conforms to the ODVA
standards as a Vender Specified Device Profile adapted to a PC device. The
SLA5800/SLAMf Series PC device has been operationally certified by ODVA
at the Conformance Test Lab in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The test verified that
the device conforms to all specifications required of a DeviceNet capable
device, the Vendor Specific Device Profile for a PC and its supporting
objects.

2.3. Notations
This section details notations and conventions used throughout the manual.
It is recommended that the reader become very familiar with these
conventions. Hypertext links are used in the manual to assist in navigating.
This manual is best viewed in its electronic form and can be obtained from
the Brooks website www.BrooksInstrument.com in Adobe®Acrobat®PDF
format. A glossary is provided for reference in Section: 8 Glossary to aid in
reviewing and/or to define any unfamiliar terms.
2.3.1. Numbers
Numeric values used throughout this manual will be clearly denoted as to the
base numeric system it represents. All hexadecimal number (base 16) will be
prefixed with a 0x, like 0xA4. All binary numbers (base 2) will be suffixed with
a b, like 1001b. All other numbers not annotated this way will be assumed
decimal (base 10).
2.3.2. EPATH
EPATH’s will be denoted within brackets [ ] like [0x31, 1, 3], which
represents, left to right, the Class ID (hexadecimal), Instance ID (decimal),
and Attribute ID (decimal).

Section 3 - Quick Start

3. Quick Start
This section assumes the owner of the SLA5800/SLAMf Series device has a
fully operational and trouble-free communications network with appropriate
power supplies as defined in the DeviceNet specification. This section also
assumes that there exists, connected to the network, a “master” type of
device with Poll I/O scanning capability (generally this is the most common
application for a DeviceNet network).
3.1. Step 1: Set Baud Rate and MAC ID
Two sets of switches are provided for setting the communication baud rate
and for setting the MAC ID of the device. The default MAC-ID is 63. Set
these switches on the PC(s) to the desired values.
3.1.1. Baud Rate
The switch labeled “RATE” sets the baud rate of the PC. Possible values
along with their corresponding label are (see figure below): “1” = 125K baud,
“2” = 250K baud, and “5” = 500K baud, “P” = Software programmable where
DeviceNet communications may be used to set the baud rate to one of the
above values. The out-of-box default setting is 500K baud.

3.1.2. MAC ID
Two switches labeled with “ADDRESS” are used to configure the MAC ID of
the device. MAC ID stands for Media Access Control Identifier and is used to
set the unique address of the device on the network. The possible range of
addresses is 00 to 63.
The switch labeled “MSD” is used to set the most significant digit of the
address: 00, 10, 20, 30…etc. all the way up to 60. If “MSD” is set in the range
labeled as “P”, it means the MAC ID of the device may be software
programmable through the network.
The switch labeled “LSD’ sets the least significant digit of the MAC ID. The
out-of-box default setting for the MAC ID is 63.

Note: Any changes made to the switches, either by externally setting them or
through software, will not take effect until the device has been power cycled.
