DC100 Data Acquisition Module

By Design World Staff | July 24, 2007

Lisle, IL, USA – Woodhead Industries announces the availability of a new BradCommunications™ DC100DN OEM module for the DeviceNet fieldbus.

The DC100 product family is a range of OEM modules characterized by its small size (90 X 40 mm) providing a powerful connection to a choice of fieldbuses (CC-Link®, PROFIBUS®-DP, DeviceNet™). The DC100 modules are designed for machine builders, system designers, and operator interface manufacturers who want to implement a fieldbus connection in their products quickly and at a lower cost.

The modules of the DC100 family are interchangeable, interfacing with the host system through a 60-point connector. Its pinout is identical regardless of the type of module used, requiring minimum effort by system designers to integrate the entire range of DC100 modules. The data exchanges and the various network services (configuration, diagnostic, etc) are carried out directly through dual port memory (DP-Ram), reachable via a generic library of functions.

The DC100 modules include 256kbytes flash memory for storing configuration data and a dedicated processor for managing communication protocols. This embedded architecture provides optimal performance in data acquisition without overloading the host system.

More importantly, the DC100 modules for DeviceNet include Slave only (part number: DC100DNS) and Master and Slave (part number: DC100DNM) versions. DC100 modules are compatible with DeviceNet specifications version: Vol 1: 2.0, Vol 2: 2.0 and are DeviceNet conformance tested through the ODVA. The connection to the DeviceNet network is made through a pluggable 5 pin screw terminal connector (Combicon style) or by an optional HE13 male 2×5 pin connector (for remote connection using ribbon cable).

For easier integration, Woodhead Industries has made available a development kit (part number SST-DN-USB-KIT) including a USB v2 High Speed adapter (embedding the DC100 module), a software suite (driver, API library, test tools including source code), and electronic documentation. The development kit is “ready-to-use” for Windows environments or can be deployed on any type of target system.
