B.2 Limitations of the Adept DeviceNet Scanner
The DeviceNet Scanner that Adept has incorporated into the SmartController hardware
and the V
+
operating system currently supports only a subset of full DeviceNet
functionality. The following is a summary of the DeviceNet implementation:
•Implemented the Master-Slave operation. This is a complete subset of Peer-to-Peer
operation.
•Implemented the Unconnected Message Manager (UCMM) in its DeviceNet Scanner
to establish connections.
• UCMM is used to establish I/O Connections.
• The Adept DeviceNet Scanner can be a Client or a Server on the network.
• The Adept DeviceNet Scanner currently does not support Cyclic or Change-of-State
connections.
•Only I/O Messaging is supported. I/O messages contain only data.
•Currently, only the Message Group 2 of the Predefined Master/Slave Connection Set is
supported.
• Adept Message Group 2 I/O connections support only the I/O Poll
Command/Response Message of the possible message types.
