Precautions for Use
About installation
•Do not drop the device and modules, hit them, or give a strong shock on them.
Otherwise, failure may be caused.
•Use your cellular phone or PHS at least 1m away from the product main unit in operation, transmission
cables, and I/O cable. Otherwise, the system may malfunction.
•When connecting a connector or cable and mounting a module to the base unit, firmly fix it with screws.
Insufficient screwing can cause failure or malfunction due to vibrations.
About power supply wiring
•Separate the cables as far as possible from other cables. In particular, separate them at least 200mm
from power lines.
•The size of the terminal screw is M3.5. Use an appropriate crimp-style terminal with a width of 5.5mm or
less for the M3.5 screw.
•To avoid breaking the screw, use a screwdriver that matches the screw.
•Do not connect anything to the NC terminals and terminal or pins that are not described.
About use of sample programs
•For the sample programs provided in the Operating Instructions, the customer shall make operation
check before using them.
To prevent accident from malfunctioning, confirm adequately before operating.
About maintenance
•Be careful of static electricity when handling the module removed from the base unit.
Place the module removed from the unit on a conductive mat or conductive bag (a bag containing a
spare board, etc.) on a grounded table.
Otherwise, parts can be damaged due to static electricity.
•Before touching the device or modules, touch a grounded metal part to discharge the static electricity on
your body. Otherwise, static electricity on your body can cause malfunction or failure.
•When holding the module, hold the handle or ejector on the front panel, and do not hold the printed
circuit board part directly. The static electricity charged on your hand may damage the parts, the electric
charge on the circuit may cause an electric shock, or the circuit part may injure your hand.
•Wipe the dirt on the device or modules with a soft cloth.
For severe stains, use a cloth soaked with water and wrung out.
Leaving them stained may cause misjudgment or malfunction.
•Do not use benzene or thinner to remove stains on the device and modules.
It may cause deformation or discoloration of the device panel and modules.
•To keep the system normal and prevent unnecessary troubles, perform the daily inspection, periodic
inspection, and cleanup.

1.1 Functions and Features of the DN611B
This section describes the features of the DeviceNet module (DN611B) for the unified controller nv series
type1 light. DN611B is an interface module for connecting DeviceNet, one of the FA device level networks, to
the unified controller nv series.
(1) DeviceNet compliant
DeviceNet has been standardized by Rockwell Automation in the United States as a device-level network for
factory automation. Currently, a non-profit organization called ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association)
plays a leading role in maintaining and expanding DeviceNet specifications and introducing compatible
products.
DN611B is an interface between the controller and slave devices that enables the nv series controller to input
/ output data as a master device on this DeviceNet with DeviceNet-compliant slave devices developed by
various manufacturers.
(2) Input / output data volume, number of connected slave devices, data speed and network length
One DeviceNet network can be connected to DN611B. The amount of data that can be input / output
between the DN611B and the connected slave device is 128 words for input and 128 words for output (1
word = 16 bits). As long as the total number of output data and input data to connected slave devices does
not exceed 128 words, data can be input / output with up to 63 slave devices. The data amount output to the
slave device and the data amount input from the slave device differ depending on the slave device. Check
the specifications of the slave device.
The definition of output data / input data handled in this document is as shown in the figure below.
Output data:
Controller

DN611B

Slave device
Input data:


DN611B

Slave device
(3) Data input / output method
The DN611B supports the "poll command / response" and "bit strobe command / response" specified by the
DeviceNet standard as a method for inputting / outputting data with slave devices.
The details of "poll command / response" and "bit strobe command / response" are described in "1.5 Basic
Functions".
Important
- DN611B cannot be used in duplicate.
- Use the DeviceNet setting tool manufactured by HMS to configure the DeviceNet device connected to DN611B.
(Anybus Configuration Manager for DeviceNet. Hereinafter, referred to as “ACM”.)

1.3 DeviceNet Network Configuration
1.3.1 Network Configuration
The DeviceNet network configuration is a trunk line – drop line configuration as shown in Figure 1.1.
(1) Node
The nodes in Figure 1.1 include slave devices such as input / output devices, sensors, and drive devices, and
master devices such as the DN611B that exchange data with slave devices. 64 nodes can be connected to
one network. The physical layout of the master device / slave device is not particularly limited.
For the DeviceNet device on the network, set the number (node address: NA) used to identify it with other
nodes. The range of the node address value is a decimal number from 0 to 63, and the node address of a
device connected to one network must be different.
(2) Trunk line
In the DeviceNet standard, the cable connecting the farthest nodes is called the trunk line. Nodes can be
directly connected on the trunk line (connection without drop line). The length of the trunk line depends on the
network speed. Terminating resistors are required at both ends of the trunk line.
(3) Drop line
All cables branching off from the trunk line tap are drop lines. The length of the drop line is up to 6m from the
tap to the terminal node, regardless of the network speed (the total length of the drop line depends on the
network speed). One or more nodes can be connected on the drop line. The configuration of the nodes on the
drop line can be the three configurations shown in Figure 1-1.
a) Short drop line configuration from tap or multiport tap
b) Multi-drop configuration on drop line
c) Branch configuration on drop line (branch configuration on trunk line is not possible)
1.3.2 Trunk line / Drop line and maximum cable length
The DeviceNet standard has provisions for thick cables and thin cables. See DeviceNet Volume I for details of
the standard. Currently, cables conforming to the thick cable and thin cable standards are commercially
available. Purchase them according to the network configuration (described in "C.1 Network Components").
(1) Trunk line
The DeviceNet trunk line consists of thick or thin cables (thick and thin cables can be mixed). Thin cables are
easier to lay because they are softer than thick cables. Conversely, a thick cable can have a longer network
length than a thin cable. The maximum length of the trunk line varies depending on the communication speed
of the network and the type of cable used. For details, see "(3) Maximum network length".
