CompactBlock I/O
for DeviceNet
1791D

The 1791D CompactBlock I/O modules contain I/O circuits, a built-in

power supply, and a built-in DeviceNet™ I/O adapter. CompactBlock
I/O modules are ideal for applications restricted by space limitations
and applications requiring highly distributed I/O blocks close to
sensors and actuators.

The following CompactBlock I/O modules are available:

 2 Overview CompactBlock I/O for DeviceNet

Overview CompactBlock I/O modules are compatible with PLC®, SLC™ or

SoftLogix™ programmable controllers using DeviceNet scanners. All
CompactBlock I/O module values are accessible through the data
tables of the PLC or SLC programmable controller.

Node addresses on the modules are set using rotary switches, located
on the module, RSNetworx™ for DeviceNet software or a similar
configuration tool. All other module parameters are set using a
Compact Block I/O Module similiar configuration tool.

Features and Benefits

Feature: Benefit:
10–30V dc device power accommodates broad range of power supplies
and multiple voltage levels from the network
NEMA type 1+ inputs compatible with a broad range of sensors
output short-circuit protection protects outputs against accidental miswiring
hardware watchdog function puts outputs in a known state if the
microprocessor or crystal fails
I/O block located close to sensors and actuators lower wiring costs
compact size of I/O block module requires no adapter or power supply
autobaud detection module automatically matches system baud
rate - no crashing due to incorrect baud
setting
rotary node address switches reduces node commissioning time
selectable input filters select off-to-on and on-to-off delays best
suited for your application
change-of-state operation improves network throughput by reducing
network bandwidth usage
ODVA conformance tested to DeviceNet assures interoperability with other DeviceNet
version 2.0 compliant devices and systems

System Compatibility CompactBlock I/O modules are compatible with PLC, SLC or
SoftLogix programmable controllers when used with DeviceNet
scanners.

CompactBlock Family The CompactBlock modules act as a slave in a master/slave

Module Communication environment. Their I/O data is exchanged with the master through a
polled, cyclic, or change-of-state connection. This selection is made in
the DeviceNet scanner module’s configuration.

Polled

When configured as a polled device, a master initiates communication

by sending its polled I/O message to the CompactBlock module.

Cyclic

When using cyclic operation, the master only sends data to the
CompactBlock I/O module and only receives data from the module at
a preconfigured time interval.

Publication 1791D-IN001A-EP - September 2000

 4 Overview CompactBlock I/O for DeviceNet

Change-of-State

When the CompactBlock I/O module is configured for

change-of-state, the master only sends output data when:
• the user’s control program wants to update the module’s output
• the time period for communication has expired

The CompactBlock module’s input is only sent to the master when:

• an input changes
• the time period for communication has expired

With change-of-state, the master does not have to request input data
from the slave, it is sent automatically when data changes. In
addition, an adjustable "heartbeat" is produced periodically by the
CompactBlock module to let the consuming device know that the
module connection is alive and ready to communicate.

Input Filtering Input filtering limits the effect of voltage transients caused by contact
bounce and/or electrical noise. If not filtered, voltage transients could
produce false data.

To configure an input filter, an input signal delay is set to turn

off-to-on or on-to-off for nominal amounts of time. The mode and
filter time is set through RSNetworx for DeviceNet software, or a
similar configuration tool.

Idle and Fault When the PLC, SLC or PC-based programmable controller is in
Mode Selection program mode, the DeviceNet scanner puts the CompactBlock
module in an idle state. If the DeviceNet scanner drops off the
network, the module goes to a fault state.

In both idle and fault states, the module resets its outputs by default.
RSNetworx for DeviceNet software or a similar configuration tool can
change the default and set the module to save the last received
outputs.

The same logic applies for idle conditions.

Power Supply Requirements The DeviceNet network supplies power to the CompactBlock I/O
base and expansion modules. Inputs and outputs are powered by an
external 24V dc source which is independent of the network.

Mounting The CompactBlock I/O base and expansion modules can be

mounted directly to a panel or on a DIN rail.

The following graphic shows the base and expansion modules

mounting dimensions.

Remember to consider the length of the expansion ribbon cable

when installing a base module with an expansion. The expansion
module must be close enough for the expansion cable to reach from
the base module to the expansion module. Modules can be mounted
vertically or horizontally.

Base and expansion modules can be mounted side-by-side. The

graphic below shows a base module connected to an expansion
module.
