Compatibility 

ƒ Compatible with any Series 90-30 CPU except IC693CPU321 and IC693CPU340. Configuration size is limited for CPU311/313/331, as described on the next page. 

ƒ Requires release 8.0 CPU firmware. The latest Release 10 is recommended, if available for the particular CPU. 

ƒ Requires CIMPLICITY Machine Edition Logic Developer PLC version 3.0 plus the appropriate service pack or special (or a version later than 3.0). 

ƒ Not compatible with the VersaPro™, Control, or Logicmaster™ programming software. 

ƒ The Series 90-30 Hand-Held Programmer (IC693PRG300) cannot be used to configure this module. New Features The Series 90-30 DeviceNet Master Module allows a Series 90-30 PLC to send and receive I/O data from a DeviceNet network. 

Module features include: 

ƒ Support for all standard data rates (125K, 250K, 500K) 

ƒ Support for 255 bytes input data transfer and 255 bytes output data transfer per slave 

ƒ Support for 3972 bytes of input data transfer and 3972 bytes of output data transfer per master 

ƒ Support for two I/O connections per Slave - Typically one connection is used for Polled and the other is used for Strobe, Cyclic, or COS 

ƒ Support for Poll, Strobe, Cyclic and COS I/O Connections, Fragmented I/O and Explicit Messaging 

ƒ Support for Unconnected Message Manager (UCMM) with 1 proxy connection per slave device 

ƒ Support for configuration of the global scan rate 

ƒ Support for configuration of update rates for Poll and COS/Cyclic on a connection basis 

ƒ Support for PLC-application initiated explicit messaging via a COMMREQ 

ƒ Master can be configured to operate as a slave simultaneously with master operation 

ƒ Configurable fault behavior on loss of communication 

ƒ Reports loss or reestablishment of communication with slaves in PLC fault table (configurable) 

ƒ Support for 64 network device status bits (note: the bit for the master itself is always zero) 

ƒ Firmware update via service port on module
