Our ToolLink™ family of compact gateways connect RS232-based equipment directly to a DeviceNet™ industrial network. The ToolLink™ gateways offer streamlined functionality to simplify out-of-box configuration and run-time operation in DeviceNet™ applications. The CDN466 and CDN466-5 are compact DeviceNet to RS232 serial gateways, where the gateway is acting as a DeviceNet slave. The units are housed in a 2½ X 3¼ plastic housing with mounting tabs. A 5 pin micro connector provides the DeviceNet interface and a 9 pin D connector provides the RS232 interface. The DeviceNet channel is fully isolated from the supplied power.

- DeviceNet Input Message FormatSTS:
Status Byte
Bit 7 = Rx Buffer Empty
Bit 6 = Rx Buffer Overflow
Bit 5 = Rx Parity Error (automatically resets with new Rx message)
Bit 4 = Tx Buffer Empty
Bit 3 = Tx Buffer Overflow
RxC:
Receive Message Counter. Gateway increments RxC when new Rx Message is in Data field.
TxA:
Transmit Message Acknowledge. Gateway sets TxA equal to TxC after Tx Message is transmitted.
LENGTH:
Number of valid Rx Message bytes in the Data field.
DATA:
Fixed length field (0-64 bytes). Contains Rx Message bytes (left justified). Unused bytes are set to 0x00. - DeviceNet Output Message FormatCMD:
Command Byte
Bit 6 = Clear Rx Buffer (set bit to clear overflow error)
Bit 3 = Clear Tx Buffer (set bit to clear overflow error)
RxA:
Receive Message Acknowledge. Optional Rx handshake byte. Application sets RxA equal to RxC after processing last received message.
TxC:
Transmit Message Counter. Application increments TxC when new Tx Message is in Data field.
LENGTH:
Number of valid Tx Message bytes in Data field.
DATA:
Field length field (0-64 bytes). Contains Tx Message bytes (left justified). - DeviceNet Input Message Size4 to 68 bytes (4 overhead, 0 to 64 Rx Message data), software selectable
