Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The DN-3000 is an intelligent, multiple-function DeviceNet Data Transfer Unit designed for use within
the harsh industrial environment.
Using the DN-3000 Configuration Editor Software program, the DN-3000 can be programmed to run
either of the two (2) following application types:
1) DEVICENET TO PLCS OR DEVICES Allows a DeviceNet Host to read or write data registers in
one or more PLCs or Devices that use the same protocol. One of the DN-3000’s three ports can be
used as a pass-through port in which all messages received are simply passed through to one of the
connected PLCs/Devices (if supported for that PLC/Device protocol), allowing PLC programming
software, a third party’s intelligent (MMI) Man-Machine Interface terminal or a SCADA software
program to be “connected” to the same port on the PLCs/Devices used by the DN-3000.
2) DEVICENET TO MOTOR DRIVES Allows a DeviceNet Host to control and/or monitor parameters
in up to 32 Motor Drives.
This manual is presented in two sections. Each section deals with the configuration requirements for each
of the above applications: DeviceNet to PLCs and DeviceNet to Motor Drives.
Please note that the application type is selected when a new project is created using the DN-3000
configuration software and may not be changed after the project is created.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Panel-Tec DN3000 Configuration Editor Software Program is designed to operate on an IBM or
compatible computer running MS-DOS 3.3 or higher.
While the Configuration Editor Software Program will run under “WINDOWS 3.1” in most
configurations, it is not recommended. As of this date, no problems have been reported running the
software under “WINDOWS 95”.
The configuration editor software will default during start-up to using “COMM 1” unless changed using
the OPTIONS menu. This may conflict with a mouse driver program and prevent up/down loading
configuration information to the DN-3000 interface unit.

DeviceNet to PLCs or Devices
DEVICENET TO PLCS OR DEVICES
The ”DeviceNet to Motor Drives” application allows a DeviceNet Host device to access data registers in
up to 32 serial PLCs or Devices via Explicit Messages and/or I/O Data.
Explicit Messages allows the DeviceNet Host to issue requests to the DN-3000 to read or write specific
PLC/Device data registers. The DN-3000 converts those requests into serial communications requests in
the selected serial PLC’s or Device’s protocol.
I/O Data allows the DN-3000 to exchange a fixed set of PLC/Device data registers between a DeviceNet
Host and serial PLCs or Devices. The DN-3000 writes Output Data received from the DeviceNet Host to
fixed PLC/Device data registers (see Output Data Table in this section) in the connected serial PLCs or
Devices. Input Data is read from fixed PLC/Device data registers in the connected serial PLCs or
Devices and sent to the DeviceNet Host (see Input Data Table in this section).
Important Note: The DN-3000 can be used to access only data registers in the selected PLCs or
Devices. See the Application Notes for the selected PLC/Device for more information.
DEVICE PROFILE
The DN-3000 is based on the “PLC/Device Gateway” Device Profile, a vendor-specific extension of the
“Communications Adapter” Device Profile (described in the “ODVA DeviceNet Specifications”). This
Device Profile introduces two new vendor-specific Objects: the “PLC/Device Interface Object” and the
“PLC/Device Command Object”. Documentation on this profile and these objects are available from
Panel-Tec, Inc.
The DN-3000 is a Group 2 Only Server utilizing the Predifined Master/Slave Connection Set (as
described in the (ODVA DeviceNet Specifications”). It supports both Explicit Messaging and Polled,
Change-of-State (COS) and Cyclic I/O connections to a DeviceNet Host. It does not support Bit-Strobed
I/O connections.
To access register data via Explicit Messaging, the DeviceNet Host must issue an explicit Get_Member or
Set_Member request to the desired “PLC/Device Interface Object” Instance (based on PLC/Device
Address) of the DN-3000.
If Polled, COS and/or Cyclic I/O connections are to be used, you must first set up the I/O
configuration of the DN-3000 with the DN3000 Configuration Editor software. See I/O Data
Configuration in this section.

Use your computer’s UP/DOWN arrow keys to move through the PLC/Device Protocol List. Place the
highlight bar on the desired Protocol and press the ENTER key. The software will enter this selection
and automatically close the Protocol selection window. After the selection window closes, you will need
to check the communications setting for the selected Protocol, making changes as necessary.
2 Wire RS422 or RS485 Communications
This box will only need to be checked if the communications with your PLC/Device is a 2-wire RS485 or
RS422 interface. When 2-wire communications are being used, RTS must be looped back to CTS on the
DN-3000 side of the cable. This can be done on the RS232 side by looping pins 4 and 5 or on the
RS422/485 side by looping 16 to 18 and 17 to 19.
DN3000 Address
Some PLC/Device protocols require each PLC or Device on a network to be assigned a unique address.
The DN3000 Address is the address assigned to the DN-3000 on the PLC/Device network.
Communications Settings
The communications settings are automatically set to the default values for each type of PLC/Device
when its Protocol is first selected. Before changing any of these settings, consult your PLC/Device
manual for the correct settings. To move between the communications settings, press the TAB or
ENTER keys. To select a setting, use the UP/DOWN arrow key to move to the desired setting and press
the SPACE BAR to enter or change your selection.
RTS Control (Request to Send Control)
RTS Control selection is an option provided for modems or for PLCs/Devices that require RTS to be
active only while the DN-3000 is transmitting to the PLC. If RTS/CTS is selected, the DN-3000 will
activate RTS and wait until CTS is active before transmitting to the PLC. If RTS Delay is selected, the
DN-3000 will activate RTS and wait for the specified delay time to pass before transmitting to the PLC.
Response Time-Out
The Response Time-Out tells the DN-3000 how long to wait after transmitting a request to a PLC/Device
if no response has been received from the PLC/Device. After this amount of time (specified in
milliseconds) passes with no response being received, the DN-3000 will assume that no response is
coming and will retry the request.
To save the configuration for Port #1, press the “Alt+S” keys or the F10 function key once and a small
window appears stating the information was saved. Press the ENTER key, then the ESC key to return to
the “EDIT” window.

CONFIGURING PORT # 3 (PASSTHROUGH)
Not all PLC/Device protocols allow for the pass-through communications. If your selected Protocol on
Port 2 is capable of pass-through communications, the “Port 3 (Passthrough)” header within the “EDIT”
menu will be black (if light gray, the PLC does not support Pass-Through communications). Place the
Highlight bar around the “Port 3 (Passthrough)” header and press the ENTER key to open this screen.

Communications
For descriptions of all entry fields on this screen except for the Intermessage Time-Out, refer to
CONFIGURING PORT #2 (PLCs or Devices) in this section.
Intermessage Time-Out
The DN-3000 uses the Intermessage Time-Out to determine when a complete message has been received
on the PassThrough port. Once the first character of a message has been received, if the amount of time
specified by the Intermessage Time-Out passes with no additional characters being received, the DN-3000
will consider the message to be complete and process it.
Check over the communications settings, making corrections as needed, and save this information by
pressing the letter “S” or the F10 function key(s) once. A small window will appear stating the
information was saved. Press the ENTER key, then the ESC key to return to the “EDIT” menu.

DeviceNet to PLCs or Devices
The DN-3000 supports up to a total of 64 bytes (32 words) of combined Input and Output data. Each
word (2 bytes) of Input or Output data can be configured to exchange data with any one valid data register
in any one of the PLCs/Devices connected to port 2 of the DN-3000 (see “CONFIGURING PORT 2” for
PLC/Device Protocol and communication parameters).
Use Command Block
In some projects it may be necessary to be able to access more than just the 32 PLC/Device registers that
can be configured in the Input and Output data. A Command Block reserves the first 4 words of Output
data for commands, and the first 4 words of Input data for command results. This reduces your total
number of words that can be used for register data to 24 words, but adds flexibility by allowing your
DeviceNet Host to issue commands to the DN-3000 to access any valid data registers in any PLC or
Device connected to port 2 of the DN-3000. Commands are issued by moving a command code,
PLC/Device address, file number (Allen-Bradley PLCs only), register number, and data into the first 4
words of the Output data (see “COMMAND BLOCK”).
Use Diagnostics
Diagnostics allows the DeviceNet Host to monitor PLC/Device connections to the DN-3000. The first
word of the Input data following the Command Result Block (if any) will be reserved for Diagnostics if
this option is selected. The DN-3000 keeps track of the connection status with each PLC/Device address
(0-255). Whenever an attempt to communicate with a PLC/Device is successful, the connection status for
that PLC/Device is set to ‘0’. Whenever an attempt to communicate with a PLC/Device is unsuccessful,
the connection status for that PLC/Device is set to ‘1’. Of course, returning 256 status bits would require
16 words of Input data (half of the available I/O data). Instead, only 16 bits (1 word) of are returned.
Each of the 16 bits of the Diagnostics word represents the status of 16 PLC/Device addresses, as follows:
bit 0 represents PLC/Device addresses 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, etc.; bit 1 represents PLC/Device addresses 1, 17,
33, 49, 65, etc.; and so forth. If the status of any of the PLC/Device addresses represented by a bit is ‘1’,
that bit will contain a ‘1’, otherwise, that bit will contain a ‘0’. Note that the status of a PLC/Device is set
to ‘1’ only if the DN-3000 attempts to communicate with that PLC/Device and that attempt is
unsuccessful.
Output Data Size
This determines the number of words of Output data that will be used in your project. Output data is data
that is output from your DeviceNet Host to the DN-3000 (commands, and register data to be written to
PLCs/Devices). This is also known as the Consumed I/O Data of the DN-3000. If a Command Block is
used, it will automatically reserve 4 words of Output data. The combined size of the Input and Output
data must not exceed 32 words.
Output Data
Pressing the Output Data button brings up a window allowing you to edit the configuration of the Output
data in your project. You can press the Output Data button by clicking on it with your mouse, or moving
the focus to the button with the arrow keys and pressing the SPACEBAR. See “OUTPUT DATA

COMMAND BLOCK
Using I/O data to update and/or monitor motor drive parameters requires very little programming in your
DeviceNet Host device – the configuration of the DN-3000 specifies which PLC/Device registers are
mapped to which words of I/O data. However, you can only access a total of 32 registers this way, and
those registers are fixed when the DN-3000 is configured. If your application requires that you access
more than 32 registers, you must either use multiple DN-3000s, or use a Command Block.
A Command Block allows your DeviceNet Host to issue commands at run-time to read or write any valid
register in any PLC/Device connected to Port 2 of the DN-3000. The Command Block reserves the first 4
words of Output data for commands issued by the Host, and the first 4 words of Input data for the results
of those commands (along with any returned data). Commands are issued by moving a PLC/Device
Address, File Number, Register Number, any required Register Data (for write commands only), and a
Command code into the Command Block, as follows:
15 14 13 12 11 10

File Number

Register Data (write command only)
The DN-3000 looks for changes in the Command Block data to determine when there is a new request to
be processed, “throwing out” any invalid commands received. Valid Commands are 1 (read) and 2
(write). To ensure that partial commands are not processed (in systems where it is possible that Output
data could be sent by the host before all 4 words of data have been moved into the command block), you
should set the Command to 0 (indicating no command), then place the data in words 2-4, and only set the
Command to 1 or 2 after all of the other data is in place. After a command has been processed by the DN-
3000, it will “echo” the command in the Command Result Block in the Input data, and set the Result Code
and any Returned Register Data, as follows:

DeviceNet to Motor Drives
DEVICENET TO MOTOR DRIVES
The ”DeviceNet to Motor Drives” application allows a DeviceNet Host device to access parameters in up
to 32 serial Motor Drives via Explicit Messages and/or I/O Data.
Explicit Messages allows the DeviceNet Host to issue requests to the DN-3000 to read or write specific
Motor Drive parameters. The DN-3000 converts those requests into serial communications requests in
the selected serial Motor Drive’s protocol.
I/O Data allows the DN-3000 to exchange a fixed set of Motor Drive parameters between a DeviceNet
Host and serial Motor Drives. The DN-3000 writes Output Data received from the DeviceNet Host to
fixed Motor Drive parameters (see Output Data Table in this section) in the connected serial Motor
Drives. Input Data is read from fixed Motor Drive parameters in the connected serial Motor Drives and
sent to the DeviceNet Host (see Input Data Table in this section).
DEVICE PROFILE
This application of the DN-3000 is based on the “Motor Drive Gateway” Device Profile, a vendor-
specific extension of the “Communications Adapter” Device Profile (described in the “ODVA
DeviceNet Specifications”). This Device Profile introduces two new vendor-specific Objects: the
“Motor Drive Interface Object” and the “Motor Drive Command Object”. Documentation on this
profile and these objects are available from Panel-Tec, Inc.
The DN-3000 is a Group 2 Only Server utilizing the Predifined Master/Slave Connection Set (as
described in the (ODVA DeviceNet Specifications”). It supports both Explicit Messaging and Polled,
Change-of-State (COS) and Cyclic I/O connections to a DeviceNet Host. It does not support Bit-Strobed
I/O connections.
To access Motor Drive Parameter data via Explicit Messaging, the DeviceNet Host must issue an explicit
Get_Member or Set_Member request to the desired “Motor Drive Interface Object” Instance (based on
Motor Drive Address) of the DN-3000.
If Polled, COS and/or Cyclic I/O connections are to be used, you must first set up the I/O
configuration of the DN-3000 with the DN3000 Configuration Editor software. See I/O
Configuration in this section.

2-Wire RS422 or RS485 Communications
This box will only need to be checked if the communications with your Motor Drive is a 2-wire RS485 or
RS422 interface. When 2-wire communications are being used, RTS must be looped back to CTS on the
DN-3000 side of the cable. This can be done on the RS232 side by looping pins 4 and 5 or on the
RS422/485 side by looping 16 to 18 and 17 to 19.

To select a setting, use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to move to the desired setting and press the SPACE
BAR to enter or change your selection.
RTS Control (Request to Send Control)
RTS Control selection is an option provided for modems or for Motor Drives that require RTS to be
active only while the DN-3000 is transmitting to the drive. If RTS/CTS is selected, the DN-3000 will
activate RTS and wait until CTS is active before transmitting to the drive. If RTS Delay is selected, the
DN-3000 will activate RTS and wait for the specified delay time to pass before transmitting to the drive.
Response Time-Out
The Response Time-Out is tells the DN-3000 how long to wait after transmitting a request to the Motor
Drive if no response has been received from the drive. After this amount of time (specified in
milliseconds) passes with no response being received, the DN-3000 will assume that no response is
coming and will retry the request.
Minimum Delay Between Messages
The Minimum Delay Between Messages is only needed for Motor Drives that get “confused” when
consecutive requests are sent too close together. The Mitsubishi Z200 Series of Motor Drives is the only
currently known drive that requires this delay (set to 60 ms for Mitsubishi Z200 drives).

DeviceNet to Motor Drives
COMMAND BLOCK
Using I/O data to update and/or monitor motor drive parameters requires very little programming in your
DeviceNet Host device – the configuration of the DN-3000 specifies which motor drive parameters are
mapped to which words of I/O data. However, you can only access a total of 32 motor drive parameters
this way, and those parameters are fixed when the DN-3000 is configured. If your application requires
that you access more than 32 motor drive parameters, you must either use multiple DN-3000s, or use a
Command Block.
A Command Block allows your DeviceNet Host to issue commands at run-time to read or write any valid
parameter of any motor drive connected to Port 2 of the DN-3000. The Command Block reserves the first
3 words of Output data for commands issued by the Host, and the first 3 words of Input data for the
results of those commands (along with any returned data). Commands are issued by moving a Motor
Drive Address, Parameter Number, any required Parameter Data (for write commands only), and a
Command code into the Command Block, as follows:
15 14 13 12 11 10

Parameter Number
Parameter Data (write command only)
The DN-3000 looks for changes in the Command Block data to determine when there is a new request to
be processed, “throwing out” any invalid commands received. Valid Commands are 1 (read) and 2
(write). To ensure that partial commands are not processed (in systems where it is possible that Output
data could be sent by the host before all 4 words of data have been moved into the command block), you
should set the Command to 0 (indicating no command), then place the data in words 2-3, and only set the
Command to 1 or 2 after all of the other data is in place. After a command has been processed by the DN-
3000, it will “echo” the command in the Command Result Block in the Input data, and set the Result Code
and any Returned Parameter Data, as follows:

the highlighted bar around the “Upper Link Table” sub-heading (within the “EDIT” menu) and press the
ENTER key. The Upper Link Table is used to select which drive or drives support Upper Parameter
Numbers. If a particular drive supports upper parameters, it must be set in this table to insure proper
communications with the motor drive.
To enable the Upper Link for any drive, use the computer’s arrow KEYS to move the highlighted
brackets to the desired drive number and press the SPACE BAR. This places an “X” between the
brackets. The Upper Link Activity time-out is used by the DN-3000 to ensure the state of the link setting
in the drive when it has not had any communications with the drive for a certain period of time.

Operation of the Link Switch
When the parameter number 128 or higher is being accessed, the DN-3000 will automatically set the link
switch to Upper Parameters if not already set. When parameter number 127 or lower is being accessed,
the DN-3000 will automatically set the link switch to Lower Parameters if not already set. If the Upper
Link Activity time-out value is reached without any communications activity to a particular drive, the
DN-3000 will consider the state of the link switch for that drive to be indeterminate and will set the upper
link switch to the appropriate setting for the next parameter that is being accessed regardless of what the
previous setting was.

DN-3000 TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
The DN-3000 performs a self-test each time the unit is powered up or when the Mode Selection DIP
Switch is changed. When it detects a failure, it will report the type of failure on the Status LED. All
failures are reported as a flash code in which the DN-3000 will flash its Status LED yellow a designated
number of times followed by a pause. The flash code will repeat itself until the unit is powered off. The
possible errors that can be reported and the recommended actions are:
2 flashes followed by a pause
Random Access Memory Failure (RAM Failure)
Send the unit in for repair (Obtain RMA number first).
3 flashes followed by a pause
Firmware stored in ROM failed checksum test (ROM Failure)
Send the unit in for repair (Obtain RMA number first).
4 flashes followed by a pause
Unit Not Configured or EEPROM failure
If transferring your project file to the DN-3000 does not correct this error, send the unit in for
repair (Obtain RMA number first).
5 flashes followed by a pause
Invalid DIP Switch Setting
Verify that the DIP Switch is properly set to a valid operating mode (See DIP Switch Settings
in this section). If the DIP Switch is properly set, send the unit in for repair (Obtain RMA

Registers Accessed
The DN-3000 will only access registers in the Data Area of PLC memory (R400–R577 and R700–R777)
which are 8-bit registers. Because the DN-3000 will only read and write 16-bit values, it will use two
consecutive 8-bit registers in the 305 Series PLCs to form a 16-bit value. The first of these consecutive
registers must be located on an even boundary (i.e. R400, R402, etc.). The low order byte of the 16-bit
value is located in the lowest numbered register and the high order byte is located in the highest
numbered register.
When entering register numbers into the DN-3000 Configuration Software, they must be converted from
octal to decimal. For example, if the DN-3000 is to access register R400 (and R401), the value 400 in
octal is converted to the value 256 in decimal. This value of 256 is then entered into the DN-3000
Configuration Software.

SIEMENS S7-200 PLCS
Registers Accessed
The DN-3000 will only access registers in the V-Memory area of PLC memory (VB0 to VB9999) which
are 8-bit registers. Because the DN-3000 will only read and write 16-bit values, it will use two
consecutive 8-bit registers in Siemens S7 PLCs to form a 16-bit value. The first of these consecutive
registers must be located on an even boundary (i.e. VB0, VB2, etc.). The low order byte of the 16-bit
value is located in the lowest numbered register and the high order byte is located in the highest
numbered register. These registers can also be accessed in the PLC program or in Charts as 16-bit
registers VW0, VW2, VW4, etc.
When entering register numbers, only the offset into the V-Memory area (0-9998) should be entered. For
example, to access register number VW0 (VB0 and VB1), the value 0 should be entered. To access
register number VW9998 (VB9998 and VB9999), the value 9998 should be entered.
Protocol Information
The DN-3000 follows the Point-to-Point (PPI) protocol specification for token passing masters used with
Siemens S7-200 PLCs. It will operate on a PPI network along with other masters.
The fully implemented, multi-master version of the PPI protocol is very slow because of the token
passing, Therefore a unique feature has been implemented on the DN-3000 which allows it to run as a
single master with no token passing. This feature can only be used when no other masters are present on
the PPI network. To activate this feature, enter the value 125 into the DN-3000 Address field on the PLC
Port configuration screen in the DN-3000 Configuration Software. Whenever the DN-3000 Address
(address which it resides at on the PPI network) is set to 125, it will act as a single master.
Pass-Through Port
For Siemens S7-200 PLCs, there is an additional advantage to the “Pass-Through” port of the DN-3000.
It allows a non-token passing master such as a personal computer running Micro/DOS to have access to a
multiple-master token passing network without the requirement for an MPI card in the personal computer.
This feature can only be used when the DN-3000 Address is not set to 125 (see above).

p1 T0 0 (for PC COM Port 1) OR
p2 T0 0 (for PC COM Port 2)
For example, if you are using a 545 PLC and you are using COM2 on your PC, you would invoke
TISOFT as follows:
TI545 p2 T0 0
These parameters will prevent the programming software from switching over to the Transparent Byte
Protocol, which is not supported by the DN-3000.

Application Notes – Motor Drives
Drive Addresses Assigned By Panel-Tec
Drive Number 255 is used to address all motor drives present on a 485 or 422 communications link. This
drive address can only be used when writing a parameter or value to the motor drives. This allows for
motor drives to be multi-dropped together and a command such as a new velocity to be sent to all drives
at the exact same time.
Note: When using Drive Number 255, the same value is sent to all drives as a single Global Broadcast
command. Therefore, the number of drives (if using the Command Block or Transfer Table) or
the number of registers (if using a Modbus Master) must be set to 1.
Drive Specific Completion Codes (Bits 6 thru 4 of the Result Word)
2 = The DN-3000 obtained an invalid response from drive
Configuring A Baldor Drive For Serial Communications
Before a Baldor Motor Drive can be used for serial communications with the DN-3000, the following
steps must be performed:
1) The Serial Communication Expansion Board must be installed and configured correctly.
2) The DN-3000 must be configured with the same communication options selected on the
Dip Switches of the Serial Communication Expansion Board.
3) Pins 8, 9, 10, and 17 of Terminal Strip J1 on the Baldor drive must all be jumpered together.
4) Using the Baldor keypad, go to the INPUT block title, select OPERATING MODE and
change the mode to SERIAL. Press the DISP key and the text SERIAL should appear on
the display.

Configuring A Woods Drive For Serial Communications
1) Parameter number 21 must be set to the value of 16, 17, or 18 and parameter number 22 must be set to
the value of 3 to be able to control the drive (inverter) with the Woods SIO option.
2) Any parameter may be read from the drive (inverter) at any time during operation.
3) Parameter numbers that are less than 30 with the exception of 21 may be written any time during
operation.
4) Parameter numbers 30 and above can only be written while the drive (inverter) is in the program
mode. To place the drive into the program mode, when the motor is stopped, write the value of 4 to
parameter number 22. When all desired parameters have been changed, the drive should be taken out
of the program mode by writing the value of 3 to parameter number 22.
