The I-7242D is one of CAN bus products in ICP DAS. The device allows a master located on a DeviceNet network to enter into a dialogue with the slaves on a Modbus RTU network In DeviceNet network, it is a Group 2 Only Slave device, and supports “Predefined Master/Slave Connection Set”. It is a general protocol converter operating in a way that is transparent to the user. In addition, we also provide the utility software for users to configure the I-7242D,s parameters and build the EDS file. Users can easily apply Modbus RTU devices in DeviceNet applications with the I-7242D.

DeviceNet Features

• Group two only server DeviceNet subscriber
• Dynamic Assembly Objects Mapping
• On-line change baud rate and MAC ID of CAN
• NS, MS and IO LED indicators
• 7-segmemt LED to show operation mode, MAC ID, baud rate and error code
• Connection supported: 1 “Explicit Connection”; 1 “Polled Command/Response” connection; 1”Bit-Strobed Command/Response” connection; 1”Cnange-of-State/Cyclic” connection
• Configuration facilitated by the use of specific EDS files
• Dedicated Explicit message interface for full Modbus interface

Modbus RTU Features

• Maximum number of subscribers: 10 Modbus slaves
• Communication speed: 1200,2400,4800,9600,19200,38400,57600 or 115200 bits/s, configured using Utility.
• Data bits: 8 bits, configured using Utility
