DeviceNet
Overview What is DeviceNet?
DeviceNet is a device level industrial network which allows direct

connection of field devices, such as switches, lights, drives, and valves
to the network. Connecting field devices directly to the network has
several major benefits:
– Reduced hardwiring
• decreases labor expenses
• in many cases reduces hardware costs
– Reduced start-up time
• minimizes miswiring
– Reduced down time due to enhanced diagnostics from each
device
• diagnostics provide predictive failure warnings
• diagnostics aid troubleshooting

DeviceNet
Overview
Topology
DeviceNet is a Trunk/Drop or bus-based network. Nodes can be
connected to the trunk cable directly, or through a variety of taps and
terminals. Regardless of the connection method to the trunk, each node
must be within 20 feet of the trunk. Since DeviceNet is a bus-based
network, each end of a segment must be terminated. Terminators are 121
ohm.

• Termination resistors are 121 Ohms, 1/4 Watt, 1%

• They MUST be placed at each end of the trunk line between white
and blue wires.
• There are both open and sealed versions
• Do not use carbon resistors. Metal film is preferable
DeviceNet
Overview Power in the Cable
DeviceNet cables differ from ControlNet and Ethernet in that they not only
carry the network signal, but they also carry 24V DC power. This allows
the user to plug simple devices like photoeyes and pushbutton stations
directly to the network without having to bring in an external power
source.
DeviceNet uses two formats of cable: round and flat.

Power in the Cable
Since devices get power from the network, there has to be a source of
power on the network. Multiple power supplies can be attached if
necessary. Power supplies are attached to the network using power
taps. The power supplies do not require a node number.

DeviceNet
Overview Power Bus Capabilities
• Single & multiple supply configurations

• High current capability by using multiple power supplies.
• A change has been made to the policy, so that device output power can now be
wired to the DeviceNet network power supply. Consult the Cable Planning and
installation guide DN-6.7.2, May 1999, Appendix B for guidelines, before
attempting this. Remember that the output current must also be added into the
common mode calculations.
• DeviceNet specifications state that 24VDC power supplies must power up to full voltage
in no more than 250ms under full load and 7000uf capacitance. Failure of power supply
to follow this specification will cause devices to Bus Off (solid red network LED) when
AC is switched on to the power supply. If devices go Bus Off when AC is applied, cycle
DC power off then on at the supply and see if devices still Bus Off. If they don’t then
power supply is out of spec. If they still Bus Off, then you have other issues with your
network.

Overview
DeviceNet Media
Rockwell sells 5 versions of DeviceNet cable. Three round versions and
2 flat version:
• Round
• Thick – Worldwide generally rated for 8 amps, but the National
Electric Code (NEC) only allows 4 amps for this type of cable in
North America.
• Thin - rated for 3 amps
• Class 1 drop - can only be used for drop cable
• Flat
• Original Heavy Duty KwiklLink: Class 1 (8A@ 24V dc) or Class 2
(4A @ 24 V dc)
• Newer KwikLink General Purpose: Class 2 (4a @ 24V dc)
All types except Class 1 drop can be used for trunk cable
DeviceNet
Overview What is Class 1 and Class 2?
Class 1 installations require that all components of a cable be able to resist voltages in their vicinity of up to 600
Volts. This is especially important when DeviceNet is used in Motor Control Centers. All components, both trunk
cable and drop cable, must be Class 1 rated for the entire system to be Class 1. The only Class 1 rated media that
you can get through Rockwell is KwikLink original trunk cable and Class 1 drop cable assemblies. See pictures
below. Belden sells Class 1 trunk and drop cable, which is not available through Rockwell. See chart at bottom of
page. Up to 8 amps of current can be drawn through KwikLink and Class 1 round trunk or drop cables.
According to NEC regulations (North America Only), Class 2 Installations can only be in the vicinity
of up to 300 Volts, but no higher. Class 2 cable systems can carry no more than 100 Watts. So doing a
calculation of 100 Watts/24 VDC = 4.16 amps of maximum allowable current in a Class 2 cable. The
1787-DNPS power supply is specifically designed to be used on Class 2 cabling systems.

DeviceNet
Overview DeviceNet Media
Each version of trunk cable has different specifications in regards to the

maximum length of the trunk, and the total amount of drop cable allowed.
These values change depending on the baud rate being used on the
network.
The total amount of drop cable allowed, referred to as the “Cumulative
drop budget”, is the total amount of drop cable that can be used to
connect devices to the trunk. As stated previously, there is a limit of 20
feet of drop cable for any single node. In addition, there is a limit of the
total amount of drop cable used on the network. Once that limit is
reached, any additional devices must be connected directly to the trunk.
DeviceNet
Overview Drop Cable Example
In the example network below, the red numbers represent the length (in
feet) of the segment of drop cable. For this example, the total amount of
drop cable used is 55 feet. You can compare this to the cumulative drop
budgets listed in the chart on the following page.

DeviceNet
Overview Extending the Cable Distance
Rockwell does not sell repeaters for the DeviceNet network, but other
companies do. The companies that sell these devices refer to them as
“bus extenders”. They can extend either the trunk or drop lines. Since the
bus extender regenerates the signal, you can effectively double the
maximum allowed cable distance on a segment. The extenders do
introduce a short delay into the system (< 1ms).
Refer to the ODVA web page for details.
DeviceNet
Overview
Extending the Trunk or Drop distances
Various Companies make network

extenders for both the trunk and drop
lines, but I like these products from WRC
best. Each unit allows another maximum
length of cable to be added to either the
trunk or drop lines of a network. For
thick, round media, that would mean
another 500 meters per unit. Multiple
units can be used to extend the trunk or
drop even more. This unit can also
convert to fiber optic for outdoor or high
noise areas. The units cost around $300
each and have become very popular.
Note: These units store and repeat,
which means they will ACK packets on
the local network and retransmit them on
the remote network. This will impart a
small network delay of .5ms, along with
the amount of time a retransmit the
packet, when doing performance
calculations.
DeviceNet
Overview Wireless Modems on DeviceNet
These modems act as invisible

wireless connections between the
Device Net networks they are
attached to. They are very useful for
moving machinery, where cable
connections are not feasible. They are
best for line of sight applications
without a lot of building steel
separating them. Matric will be
coming out with a next generation
modem during Summer 2002 which
will have improved radio signal
transmission and reception.
DeviceNet
Overview Choosing Flat Cable
The cable distance specifications are the same for both types of flat
cable. How do I choose which one to use?
The newer KwikLink cable is more flexible and less expensive than the original
heavy duty KwikLink. That makes it the best choice for most applications. Use
the original heavy duty KwikLink for applications that require class 1 cable
(cables that will be run near high voltage). For example, original KwikLink heavy
duty is used in Rockwell’s MCC’s (motor control centers). Newer KwikLink is
rated class 2.
DeviceNet
Overview Connecting to Flat Cable
Connecting to flat cable is different than round cable in that you don’t have
to cut the cable, or have a specific length cable in order to install a tap.
Taps are clamped directly onto the flat cable wherever they are needed.
The conductors in the tap pierce the cable jacket and contact the
conductors in the cable. This allows you to quickly add nodes to a network
without breaking the cable system.
Once the tap is secured to the cable a
device can be plugged in here.

Overview
Connecting to Flat Cable
How do I choose between the Original (Heavy-Duty) KwikLink and

KwikLink General Purpose Connectors?
The features required in your DeviceNet flat media application will drive the
selection of connector style.There are a variety of feature differences between the
Original KwikLink and KwikLink General Purpose connectors.
The feature set of the Original KwikLink lends itself to more demanding industrial
applications such as those with washdown conditions or those requiring the use
of 600V cable or Class 1 wiring. In addition, the Original KwikLink connectors
provide greater flexibility with exchangeable snap-on interface caps such as
Micro, Open-Style, Mini Pigtail, Terminators, etc.
The feature set of the KwikLink General Purpose connectors aligns with lighter-
duty industrial applications and provides only micro style connectivity.
DeviceNet
Overview
Can the newer KwikLink General Purpose flat cable be used with the
Original KwikLink connectors?
No. The newer flat cable is highly pliable and has been optimized for use with
vampire style connections. It should not be used with IDC style connections
(such as those in the original KwikLink Connector) as it may result in unreliable
operation and lead to application difficulties.
DeviceNet
Overview
Connection Method: What is the difference between vampire and

IDC?
Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley utilizes two separate industrialized
technologies to connect to DeviceNet flat media. Both technologies have been
used in commercial applications for many years and have proven extremely
durable and reliable in industrial applications as well.
The Original Heavy-Duty KwikLink connectors utilize insulation
displacement connection (IDC) technology. This technology is based on the
use of multiple sets of “IDC blades” which displace the insulation on two sides of
a conductor, wedging the wire between them to create a gas-tight electrical
connection.
The newer KwikLink General Purpose connectors (and the flat cable base for
ArmorBlock MaXum hardened distributed I/O) utilize vampire technology. This
technology is based upon multiple “vampire blades” resembling triangular teeth,
which create a gas-tight electrical connection by piercing into a conductor along
its axis.
DeviceNet
Overview
DeviceNet Connectors
DeviceNet offers a wide spectrum of taps and connectors for attaching

devices to the network. There are multiple connectors for each of the
different cable types. Some examples are:
• Open style connectors - low cost connectors that allow devices to be
wired into terminals.
• Sealed style connectors - connectors designed to withstand
environmental hazards such as dust and liquids and meet various
industry ratings standards (I.e IP67).
• Multiport taps - taps that allow more than one device to be
connected.

c) Reduced allowable cable distance
d) Reduced down-time
Explanation: All the others are benefits that DeviceNet provides. Reduced
allowable cable distance is not a benefit. It is not an issue with DeviceNet either,
as DeviceNet actually provides very good allowable cable distances and offer the
ability to expand cable distances by lowering the baud rate. There are also
