DeviceNett Made Easier

See page xx for further details.

DeviceNet is an open communication network designed to connect factory floor devices such as photoelectric sensors, inductive proximity sensors, motorstarters, drives, valve manifolds, and simple operator interfaces together without interfacing through an I/O system. It increases the amount and rate of information flowing from plant floor devices to control systems, and has the potential to substantially reduce wiring costs. Up to 64 intelligent nodes can be connected to one DeviceNet network. The ability to remove and replace devices from the network while under power without a programming tool is a distinct advantage of the DeviceNet network. The DeviceNet network consists of a cabling system that provides both power and communication to nodes. Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley offers a number of media products for device connection and communication needs. D Sealed and unsealed versions D Quick simple installation D D D

ATTENTION: Servicing energized Industrial Control Equipment can be hazardous. Severe injury or death can result from electrical shock, burn, or unintended actuation of controlled equipment. Recommended practice is to disconnect and lockout control equipment from power sources, and release stored energy, if present. Refer to National Fire Protection Association Standard No. NFPA70E, Part II and (as applicable) OSHA rules for Control of Hazardous Energy Sources (Lockout/Tagout) and OSHA Electrical Safety Related Work Practices for safety related work practices, including procedural requirements for lockout-tagout, and appropriate work practices, personnel qualifications and training requirements where it is not feasible to de-energize and lockout or tagout electric circuits and equipment before working on or near exposed circuit parts. Periodic InspectionIndustrial control equipment should be inspected periodically. Inspection intervals should be based on environmental and operating conditions and adjusted as indicated by experience. An initial inspection within 3 to 4 months after installation is suggested. See National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Standard No. ICS 1.3, Preventive Maintenance of Industrial Control and Systems Equipment, for general guidelines for setting-up a periodic maintenance program. Some specific guidelines for Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley products are listed below. ContaminationIf inspection reveals that dust, dirt, moisture or other contamination has reached the control equipment, the cause must be eliminated. This could indicate an incorrectly selected or ineffective enclosure, unsealed enclosure openings (conduit or other) or incorrect operating procedures. Replace any improperly selected enclosure with one that is suitable for the environmental conditionsrefer to NEMA Standard No. 250, Enclosures for Electrical Equipment for enclosure type descriptions and test criteria. Replace any damaged or embrittled elastomer seals and repair or replace any other damaged or malfunctioning parts (e.g., hinges, fasteners, etc.). Dirty, wet or contaminated control devices must be replaced unless they can be cleaned effectively by vacuuming or wiping. Compressed air is not recommended for cleaning because it may displace dirt, dust, or debris into other parts or equipment, or damage delicate parts. Hazardous Location Enclosures ATTENTION: Explosion hazard. Always disconnect power before opening enclosures in hazardous locations. Close and secure such enclosures before reapplying power. NEMA Types 7 and 9 enclosures require careful handling so machined flanges do not get damaged. For removable covers, remove the cover and set aside with machined surface up. For hinged covers, open the cover fully and restrain in the full open position if necessary. Clean and examine the flanges on both the body and cover before reassembly. If there are scratches, nicks, grooves or rust on the mating surfaces, replace the body or cover as necessary. Examine all bolts and replace any that have damaged threads. Also check mating threads for damage and replace enclosure if necessary. Covers and bodies of some enclosures are manufactured as matched sets (not interchangeable). The manufacturer should be consulted before replacing a cover or body unless it is specified by the manufacturer as interchangeable. Operating MechanismsCheck for proper functioning and freedom from sticking or binding. Replace any broken, deformed or badly worn parts or assemblies according to individual product renewal parts lists. Check for and retighten securely any loose fasteners. Lubricate if specified in individual product instructions. ContactsCheck contacts for excessive wear and dirt accumulations. Vacuum or wipe contacts with a soft cloth if necessary to remove dirt. Contacts are not harmed by discoloration and slight pitting. Contacts should never be filed, as dressing only shortens contact life. Contact spray cleaners should not be used as their residues on magnet pole faces or in operating mechanisms may cause sticking, and on contacts can interfere with electrical continuity. Contacts should only be replaced after silver has become badly worn. Always replace contacts in complete sets to avoid misalignment and uneven contact pressure. Vacuum ContactorsContacts of vacuum contactors are not visible, so contact wear must be checked indirectly. Vacuum bottles should be replaced when: 1. The estimated number of operations equals one million, or 2. The contact life line indicator shows need for replacement, or 3. The vacuum bottle integrity tests show need for replacement. Replace all vacuum bottles in the contactor at the same time to avoid misalignment and uneven contact wear. If the vacuum bottles do not require replacement, check and adjust overtravel to the value listed on the maintenance instructions. TerminalsLoose connections in power circuits can cause overheating that can lead to equipment malfunction or failure. Loose connections in control circuits can cause control malfunctions. Loose bonding or grounding connections can increase hazards of electrical shock and contribute to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Check the tightness of all terminals and bus bar connections and tighten securely any loose connections. Replace any parts or wiring damaged by overheating, and any broken wires or bonding straps. Arc HoodsCheck for cracks, breaks, or deep erosion. Arc hoods and arc chutes should be replaced if damaged or deeply eroded.

Note: Rockwell Automation/ Allen-Bradley magnetic starters, Cooling DevicesInspect blowers and contactors and relays are designed to operate without lubricationdo not fans used for forced air cooling. Replace any that have bent, chipped, or lubricate these devices because oil or grease on the pole faces (mating missing blades, or if the shaft does not turn freely. Apply power momentarily to surfaces) of the operating magnet may cause the device to stick in the ON check operation. If unit does not operate, check and replace wiring, fuse, mode. Some parts of other devices are factory lubricatedif lubrication during or blower or fan motor as appropriate. use or maintenance of these devices is Clean or change air filters as needed, it will be specified in their recommended in the product manual. individual instructions. If in doubt, Also, clean fins of heat exchangers so consult your nearest Rockwell convection cooling is not impaired. Automation/Allen-Bradley Sales Office for information. See page 11-1.

Maintenance of Industrial Control Equipment

CoilsIf a coil exhibits evidence of overheating (cracked, melted or burned insulation), it must be replaced. In that event, check for and correct overvoltage or undervoltage conditions, which can cause coil failure. Be sure to clean any residues of melted coil insulation from other parts of the device or replace such parts. BatteriesReplace batteries periodically as specified in product manual or if a battery shows signs of electrolyte leakage. Use tools to handle batteries that have leaked electrolyte; most electrolytes are corrosive and can cause burns. Dispose of the old battery in accordance with instructions supplied with the new battery or as specified in the manual for the product. Pilot LightsReplace any burned out lamps or damaged lenses. Photoelectric SwitchesThe lenses of photoelectric switches require periodic cleaning with a soft dry cloth. Reflective devices used in conjunction with photoelectric switches also require periodic cleaning. Do not use solvents or cleaning agents on the lenses or reflectors. Replace any damaged lenses and reflectors. Solid State Devices ATTENTION: Use of other than factory recommended test equipment for solid state controls may result in damage to the control or test equipment or unintended actuation of the controlled equipment. Refer to paragraph titled HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING. Solid state devices require little more than a periodic visual inspection. Discolored, charred or burned components may indicate the need to replace the component or circuit board. Necessary replacements should be made only at the PC board or plug-in component level. Printed circuit boards should be inspected to determine whether they are properly seated in the edge board connectors. Board locking tabs should also be in place. Solid state devices must also be protected from contamination, and cooling provisions must be maintained refer to paragraphs titled CONTAMINATION and COOLING DEVICES on previous page. Solvents should not be used on printed circuit boards. High Voltage TestingHigh voltage insulation resistance (IR) and dielectric withstanding voltage (DWV) tests should not be used to check solid state control equipment. When measuring IR or DWV of electrical equipment such as transformers or motors, a solid state device used for control or monitoring must be disconnected before performing the test. Even though no damage is readily apparent after an IR or DWV test, the solid state devices are degraded and repeated application of high voltage can lead to failure. Locking and Interlocking DevicesCheck these devices for proper working condition and capability of performing their intended functions. Make any necessary replacements only with Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley renewal parts or kits. Adjust or repair only in accordance with Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley instructions. Maintenance After a Fault ConditionOpening of the short circuit protective device (such as fuses or circuit breakers) in a properly coordinated motor branch circuit is an indication of a fault condition in excess of operating overload. Such conditions can cause damage to control equipment. Before restoring power, the fault condition must be corrected and any necessary repairs or replacements must be made to restore the control equipment to good working order. Refer to NEMA Standards Publication No. ICS-2, Part ICS2-302 for procedures. ReplacementsUse only replacement parts and devices recommended by Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley to maintain the integrity of the equipment. Make sure the parts are properly matched to the model, series and revision level of the equipment. Final Check OutAfter maintenance or repair of industrial controls, always test the control system for proper functioning under controlled conditions that avoid hazards in the event of a control malfunction. For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.3, PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF INDUSTRIAL CONTROL AND SYSTEMS EQUIPMENT, published by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and NFPA70B, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE, published by the National Fire Protection Association.

Degree of Protection
IEC Publication 529 describes standard Degrees of Protection that enclosures of a product are designed to provide when properly installed.

IEC Enclosure Classification

The degree of protection is indicated by two letters (IP) and two numerals. International Standard IEC 529 contains descriptions and associated test requirements that define the degree of protection each numeral specifies. The following table indicates the general degree of protection refer to Abridged Descriptions of IEC Enclosure Test Requirements below. For complete test requirements refer to IEC 529. FIRST NUMERAL Protection of persons against access to hazardous parts and protection against penetration of solid foreign objects. 0 1 2 3 4 5 Non-protected Back of hand; objects greater than 50mm in diameter Finger; objects greater than 12.5mm in diameter Tools or objects greater than 2.5mm in diameter Tools or objects greater than 1.0mm in diameter Dust-protected (dust may enter during specified test but must not interfere with operation of the equipment or impair safety) Dust-tight (no dust observable inside enclosure at end of test) SECOND NUMERAL Protection against ingress of water under test conditions specified in IEC 529. 0 1 2 3 4 5 Non-protected Vertically falling drops of water Vertically falling drops of water with enclosure tilted 15 degrees Spraying water Splashing water Water jets

Summary
The publication defines degrees of protection with respect to: D Persons D Equipment within the enclosure D Ingress of water It does not define: D Protection against risk of explosion D Environmental protection (e.g. against humidity, corrosive atmospheres or fluids, fungus or the ingress of vermin) Note: The IEC test requirements for Degrees of Protection against liquid ingress refer only to water. Those products in this catalog, which have a high degree of protection against ingress of liquid, in most cases include Nitrile seals. These have good resistance to a wide range of oils, coolants and cutting fluids. However, some of the available lubricants, hydraulic fluids and solvents can cause severe deterioration of Nitrile and other polymers. Some of the products listed are available with seals of Viton or other materials for improved resistance to such liquids. For specific advice on this subject refer to your nearest Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley Sales Office. See page 13-1.

Example: IP41 describes an enclosure that is designed to protect against the entry of tools or objects greater than 1mm in diameter and to protect against vertically dripping water under specified test conditions. Note: All first numerals and second numerals up to and including characteristic numeral 6, imply compliance also with the requirements for all lower characteristic numerals in their respective series (first or second). Second numerals 7 and 8 do not imply suitability for exposure to water jets (second characteristic numeral 5 or 6) unless dual coded; e.g., IP_5/IP_7.
The IEC standard permits use of certain supplementary letters with the characteristic numerals. If such letters are used, refer to IEC 529 for the explanation.

Abridged Descriptions of IEC Enclosure Test Requirements

(Refer to IEC 529 for complete test specifications e.g., test apparatus configuration; tolerances; etc. For Metric Conversion factors see page General-2.) Tests for Protection Against Access to Hazardous Parts (first characteristic numeral) The first characteristic numeral of the IP number indicates compliance with the following tests for the degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. It also indicates compliance with tests as shown in the next section for the degree of protection against solid foreign objects. The protection against access to hazardous parts is satisfactory if adequate clearance is kept between the specified access probe and hazardous parts. For voltages less than 1000V AC and 1500V DC, the access probe must not touch the hazardous live parts. For voltages exceeding 1000V AC and 1500V DC, the equipment must be capable of withstanding specified dielectric tests with the access probe in the most unfavorable position. IP0_ No test required. IP1_ A rigid sphere 50mm in diameter shall not completely pass through any opening. Force = 50 N. IP2_ A jointed test finger 80mm long and 12mm in diameter may penetrate to its 80mm length, but shall have adequate clearance as specified above, from hazardous live parts, in every possible position of the test finger as both joints are bent through an angle up to 90. Force = 10 N. IP3_ A test rod 2.5mm in diameter shall not penetrate and adequate clearance shall be kept from hazardous live parts (as specified above). Force = 3 N.

Force = 1 N. IP5_ A test wire 1mm in diameter shall not penetrate and adequate clearance shall be kept from hazardous live parts (as specified on page General9). Force = 1 N. IP6_ A test wire 1mm in diameter shall not penetrate and adequate clearance shall be kept from hazardous live parts (as specified on page General9). Force = 1 N. Tests for Protection Against Solid Foreign Objects (first characteristic numeral). For first numerals 1, 2, 3 and 4 the protection against solid foreign objects is satisfactory if the full diameter of the specified probe does not pass through any opening. Note that for first numerals 3 and 4 the probes are intended to simulate foreign objects which may be spherical. Where shape of the entry path leaves any doubt about ingress or a spherical object capable of motion, it may be necessary to examine drawings or to provide special access for the object probe. For first numerals 5 and 6 see test descriptions below for acceptance criteria. IP0_ No test required. IP1_ The full diameter of a rigid sphere 50mm in diameter must not pass through any opening at a test force of 50 N. IP2_ The full diameter of a rigid sphere 12.5mm in diameter must not pass through any opening at a test force of 30 N. IP3_ A rigid steel rod 2.5mm in diameter must not pass through any opening at a test force of 3 N. IP4_ A rigid steel wire 1mm in diameter must not pass through any opening at a test force of 1 N. IP5_ The test specimen is supported inside a specified dust chamber where talcum powder, able to pass through a square-meshed sieve with wire diameter 50 mm and width between wires 75 mm, is kept in suspension. Enclosures for equipment subject to thermal cycling effects (category 1) are vacuum pumped to a reduced internal pressure relative to the surrounding atmosphere: maximum depression = 2 kPa; maximum extraction rate = 60 volumes per hour. If extraction rate of 40 to 60 volumes/hr. is obtained, test is continued until 80 volumes have been drawn through or 8 hr. has elapsed. If extraction rate is less than 40 volumes/hr. at 20 kPa depression, test time = 8 hr. Enclosures for equipment not subject to thermal cycling effects and designated category 2 in the relevant product standard are tested for 8 hr. without vacuum pumping. Protection is satisfactory if talcum powder has not accumulated in a quantity or location such that, as with any other kind of dust, it could interfere with the correct operation of the equipment or impair safety; and no dust has been deposited where it could lead to tracking along creepage distances. IP6_ All enclosures are tested as category 1, as specified above for IP5_. The protection is satisfactory if no deposit of dust is observable inside the enclosure at the end of the test. Tests for Protection Against Water (second characteristic numeral) The second characteristic numeral of the IP number indicates compliance with the following tests for the degree of protection against water. For numerals 1 through 7, the protection is satisfactory if any water that has entered does not interfere with satisfactory operation, does not reach live parts not designed to operate when wet, and does not accumulate near a cable entry or enter the cable. For second numeral 8 the protection is satisfactory if no water has entered the enclosure. IP_0 No test required. IP_1 Water is dripped onto the enclosure from a drip box having spouts spaced on a 20mm square pattern, at a rainfall rate of 1mm/min. The enclosure is placed in its normal operating position under the drip box. Test time = 10 min. IP_2 Water is dripped onto the enclosure from a drip box having spouts spaced on a 20mm square pattern, at a rainfall rate of 3mm/min. The enclosure is placed in 4 fixed positions tilted 15S from its normal operating position, under the drip box. Test time = 2.5 min. for each position of tilt. IP_3 Water is sprayed onto all sides of the enclosure over an arc of 60S from vertical, using an oscillating tube device with spray holes 50mm apart (or a hand-held nozzle for larger enclosures). Flow rate, oscillating tube device = 0.07 l/min. per hole x number of holes; for hand-held nozzle = 10 l/min. Test time, oscillating tube = 10 min.; for hand-held nozzle = 1 min./m2 of enclosure surface area, 5 min. minimum. IP_4 Same as test for IP_3 except spray covers an arc of 180S from vertical. IP_5 Enclosure is sprayed from all practicable directions with a stream of water at 12.5 l/min. from a 6.3mm nozzle from a distance of 2.5 to 3m. Test time = 1 min./m2 of enclosure surface area to be sprayed, 3 min minimum. IP_6 Enclosure is sprayed from all practicable directions with a stream of water at 100 l/min. from a 12.5mm nozzle from a distance of 2.5 to 3m. Test time = 1 min./m2 of enclosure surface area to be sprayed, 3 min. minimum. IP_7 Enclosure is immersed in water in its service position for 30 min. Lowest point of enclosures less than 850mm tall = 1000mm below surface of water. Highest point of enclosures more than 850mm tall = 150mm below surface of water. IP_8 Test conditions are subject to agreement between manufacturer and user, but shall be at least as severe as those for IP_7.

Abridged Description of UL Standard 698 Test Requirements

Explosion TestDuring a series of tests in which gas-air mixtures of the specific gas, over its range of explosive concentrations, are ignited inside the enclosure, the enclosure shall prevent the passage of flame and sparks capable of igniting a similar gas-air mixture surrounding the enclosure. In addition, there shall be no mechanical damage to enclosed electrical mechanisms or the enclosure. Hydrostatic TestThe enclosure shall withstand for 1 minute a hydrostatic test based on the maximum internal explosion pressure developed during the explosion tests, as follows: cast metal, four times the explosion pressure without rupture or permanent deformation; fabricated steel, twice the explosion pressure without permanent deformation and three times the explosion pressure without rupture. Exception: Hydrostatic tests may be omitted if calculations show safety factor of five to one for cast metal and four to one for fabricated steel. Temperature TestThe enclosed device is subjected to a temperature test to determine maximum temperature at any point on the external surface. The device must be marked with a temperature code based on the result only if the temperature exceeds +212F (+100C). Dust Penetration TestThe device is operated at full rated load until equilibrium temperatures are attained, then allowed to cool to ambient (room) temperature, through six heating and cooling cycles covering at least 30 hours, while continuously exposed to circulating dust of specified properties in a test chamber. No dust shall enter the enclosure. Temperature Test with Dust Blanket This test is conducted as described for the Dust Penetration test except that the recirculating dust nozzles are positioned so that the dust is not blown directly on the device under test. The device is operated at full rated load (and under abnormal conditions for equipment subject to overloading) until equilibrium temperatures are attained. Dust in contact with the enclosure shall not ignite or discolor from heat, and the exterior temperatures based on +104F (+40C) ambient shall not exceed: Group E F G Normal Operation +392F (+200C) +302F (+150C) +248F (+120C) Abnormal Operation +392F (+200C) +392F (+200C) +329F (+165C)
