1 Hardware Installation
1.1 Introduction
The Interface is DNet USB provides a communication link between a desktop
computer or PC notebook and a Device Network. The PC can be connected with
the Device Network using the USB plug & play features. Real time data of the
eld devices are available for operational areas, e.g. mobile data aquisition and
parameterization.
The interface is not dependent on external power supplies. The prozessor and its
periphery are powered by the USB bus. The transceiver is galvanic decoupled, its
supply results from the DeviceNet Bus.
The interface supports the DeviceNet Standard Version 2.0. Its connector cable
comes with a 5-pin connector. The DeviceNet Stack works alternative or in paral-
lel as Master (and IO scanner) or Slave. The scanner allows a dynamic change of
the slave list, which means while the DeviceNet is working slave devices can
be added to or eliminated from the scan list. The cyclic time of the the scan can
be set as required by the system. The„Explicit Massaging“ funcionality is per-
formed employing asynchronous command and event queues. Thus any data
lengths can be transmitted.

2.2.4 Installation
Steps of Installation
1. Driver installation The driver software has to be installed before the hardware installation.
Otherwise the operating system can’t nd the respective driver.
2. Interface installation
3. Conguration
The Interface can be connected to the CAN/CANopen network with its D-Sub 9 pin connector directly. The USB
cable connects the interface with the PC/notebook.

Two LEDs indicate the actual operation mode.
The Module Status LED (MS) displays the status of the device.
LED meaning
off device is not in use
green normal operating status
red/green ashing self test is being completed
red error, device can be out of order

8
isDNet USB
LED meaning
off device is ofine
green ashing online, no connections are active
green online, there is at least one connection
red ashing at least one connection is at timed-out
status
red MAC-ID-conict or connection to the bus is
being disturbed
The network status (NS) LED gives information about the status of the communication.
At beginning of the initialisation both LEDs are running through all their possible states of lightning
(MS=green, MS=red, NS=green, MS= red). This allows to check the LEDs funcionality.

The driver software has to be installed before the hardware installation. Otherwise the operationg system can’t
nd the respective driver.
The driver software package isDNet Multidriver contains a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which allows the access
to the DNet rmware under the operating systems Windows 98, ME, NT4.0, 2000 and XP. The actual operating
system is detected automatically by the driver DLL.
The conguration of the interface can be done fast and easily with the conguration software is DNet Driver
Congurator which is installed into the ifak system directory of the Start Menu.
The installation follows the steps mentioned below:

The conguration software isDNet Driver Congurator is provided in order to adapt the DLL access to your
hardware. It is installed in the MS Windows Start Menu.
This dialog based application allows the easy addition and removal of DeviceNet interfaces. It also applies serial
numbers of connected interfaces.
A device number is assigned to each interface which enables the software to address the device. Empty de-
vices can be included in order to allow gaps in the enumeration of devices.
2.3 Conguration Software

isDNet USB
Please press the button Add, choose the device type
you would like to add. Then make your settings.
The USB-interface is DNet USB possesses an unique
serial number for clear identication. The number
is located on the downside of the case and additionally
stored in the interface.
The conguration software oers the possibility to
search automatically for all attached devices and to
detect their serial numbers.
When you are working under Windows 98, ME, 2000 or
XP just ll in your settings and end with OK.
2.3.1 Add a Device

15
isDNet USB
The empty device does not contain any resources. It
serves as a substitute for device numbers not yet assi-
gned. Using this devices enables a free enumeration of
devices by inserting empty devices between existing
ones.
