XG555 CANbus to DeviceNet Transducer Gateway
Product Specification for CANbus to DeviceNet
The XG555 CANbus to DeviceNet Temposonics Gateway gathers position information from as many as
four Temposonics CANBUS transducers, each with multiple magnets. This information is provided to a
host over a DeviceNet interface. Setup information is stored on the local flash disk. The system is
comprised of an embedded industrial computer, with a PC-104 stack providing hardware interfaces. The
PC-104 stack includes the processor, a CANBUS interface, and a DeviceNet interface.

    XG555 CAN to DeviceNet Gateway April 21, 2005 DeviceNet A second CANbus interface provides a DeviceNet interface to the transducer position information. An EDS file is provided with the unit. The DeviceNet interface defaults to 500 kbps, node 63. This setup can be changed using RSNetworx for DeviceNet or another DeviceNet configuration tool.

  • Page 7: Troubleshooting

    Missing magnets on one or more transducers: Check and make sure the number of magnets on the transducer and the number entered in the XG555 match. Make sure all magnets have at least the manufacturer suggested buffer distance between them.

  • Page 8: Remote File Operations

    XG555 CAN to DeviceNet Gateway April 21, 2005 Remote File Operations Communication with the gateway console is accomplished via the gateway COMM port at 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, and one stop bit, using a terminal emulator program on a host PC. Rapid Controls provides a terminal emulator, COMM.EXE.

    XG555 CAN to DeviceNet Gateway April 21, 2005 Hardware The CANbus to DeviceNet Transducer Gateway is provided in a Hoffman type NEMA 12 metal enclosure with screw terminals for I/O connections and power. The enclosure is 10.375 by 11.75 inches without cables and is powered by 24 VDC.

  • Page 11: Canbus

    The XG555 provides CANBus interface termination on the CANBus interface board internally. An external termination resistor should not be added at the XG555 end of the CANBus network unless this termination is disabled. To disable the on-board termination, remove jumpers LK4 and LK5 from the CANBus interface board.

    The XG555 provides DeviceNet interface termination on the DeviceNet interface board. An external termination resistor should not be added at the XG555 end of the DeviceNet network. If the transducer bridge is not the last DeviceNet node on the cable and termination is provided elsewhere, you will have to disable the termination on the transducer bridge.
