Smart DeviceNet Capabilities Optimize Uptime, Reduce Maintenance Surprises Without Touching the Control ProgrammingDelivering on the Promise of Open Device-Level Communication Until now, diagnostics in field network DeviceNet and Omron Omron is one of the founding members of the Open devices have been limited to things like DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA), charged device present or broken wire, and with setting and maintaining open standards and specifications for equipment from hundreds of access to this information required manufacturers worldwide. Both Omron and ODVA lengthy control program implementation. actively promote DeviceNet as the best choice for device-level communications and continue to Omrons DRT2 DeviceNet Smart Slaves encourage the development of products that take advantage of the intelligent features built into the give you powerful tools to diagnose network. With ODVAs strong conformance testing network problems and establish policies, DeviceNet ensures the interchangeability and interoperability of control devices from preventive maintenance plans. participating manufacturers. These include everything from PLCs and remote I/O, fiber-optic sensors, vision systems controllers, servos and Omron Configuration Software provides inverters, to process and temperature controllers. DeviceNet Benefits the ability to constantly monitor and Open communication standard update this information without any assures multi-vendor device control system programming at all. The interoperability Wide range of ODVA certified combination of much greater information products to meet your capability, plus parallel access to that DeviceNet system needs Fast, easy installation saves information, removes the barriers to money in space and time gaining maximum benefit from your Easily expandable, DeviceNet Put DeviceNets Time investment in a DeviceNet installation. meets changing needs with Tracking to Work for You simple network additions The promise of enhanced uptime and Omron DRT2 Smart I/O Slaves can report make on-the-fly configuration effective maintenance that prevents maintenance timing to the user in two ways: changes and additions without powering down to maintain Contact operation counter breakdowns is now possible and easily productivity ON-Time monitor implemented. Omron is a dedicated developer It is simple to configure a preventive maintenance of DeviceNet core technology system. Set up a threshold for each I/O point and leading edge solutions depending on type of device: Sensor, Actuator, DeviceNet configuration Solenoid, Motor Starter, Relay, etc. software provides simple drag- If the number of operations, or ON-Time duration, and-drop setup for ease of use exceeds the threshold, the terminal sends a message to the master mounted on the PLC or PC.
