Safety
Safety
Safety of personnel
When working inside the robot controller it is necessary to be aware of
voltage-related risks.
A danger of high voltage is associated with the following parts:
• Devices inside the controller, for example I/O devices, can be supplied with
power from an external source.
• The mains supply/mains switch.
• The power unit.
• The power supply unit for the computer system (230 VAC).
• The rectifier unit (400-480 VAC and 700 VDC). Capacitors!
• The drive unit (700 VDC).
• The service outlets (115/230 VAC).
• The power supply unit for tools, or special power supply units for the
machining process.
• The external voltage connected to the controller remains live even when the
robot is disconnected from the mains.
• Additional connections.
Therefore, it is important that all safety regulations are followed when doing
mechanical and electrical installation work.

1 Introduction
1.1 What is DeviceNet?
1 Introduction
General
DeviceNet is a communications link to connect industrial devices. It is a simple
networking solution that reduces both cost and time to wire and install industrial
automation devices, and the direct connectivity provides improved communication
between devices. DeviceNet is an open network standard.
Here are some examples of applications:
• Peer-to-peer data exchange where a DeviceNet product can produce and
consume messages
• Master/slave operation defined as a proper subset of Peer-to-Peer
• A DeviceNet product can function as a client or server, or both
DeviceNet specification
The DeviceNet specification defines a network communication system for moving
data between elements of an industrial control system.
Communication protocol connections

The user must establish a connection with a device in order to exchange information
with that device.
DeviceNet defines the following two different types of messaging:
Type of message Description
Explicit messages Explicit messages provide multi-purpose and point-to-point com-
munication paths between two devices. Explicit messages provide
the typical request/response oriented network communications
used to perform node configuration and problem diagnosis.
I/O messages I/O messages are for time-critical and control-oriented data, and
they provide a dedicated and special-purpose communication path
between a producing application and one or more consuming ap-
plications.
I/O messages - connection types

The following table describes the different types of I/O connections:
Type of I/O connection Description
Polled connection This technique is used for any amount of I/O data. Each slave
receives a query from the master and may or may not respond
before the next device has received a query. A slave can only
respond to a request from the master.
Strobe connection A single multicasting request. Quick exchange of a small
amount of I/O data between a master and its slaves. The
master sends one message that contains one bit of output
data to each slave that has a strobe connection. This will
result in a synchronized reading of data.

1 Introduction

Type of I/O connection Description

Change-Of-State (COS) con- Devices are configured to produce data upon a change of
nection I/O data. This technique can improve system throughput
significantly. Data messages must be acknowledged by the
receiver before new messages can be sent. Heart beat mes-
sages are used to tell the receiver that the device is still alive
even if no data has changed state for a long time.
Cyclic connection Devices are configured to produce data on a pre-configured
time interval. Data production messages must be acknow-
ledged before a new message can be sent.
Change-Of-State with ac- Devices are configured to produce data upon a change of
knowledge suppression application data. This technique can improve system
throughput significantly. No acknowledge is required - that
is, the receiver of data must be able to consume the data at
the same rate as it is produced by the sending device.
Cyclic with acknowledge Devices are configured to produce data on a pre-configured
suppression time interval. No acknowledge is required - that is, the receiv-
er of data must be able to consume the data at the same rate
as it is produced by the sending device.

Usage
Repeaters are used for the following purposes:
• To avoid disturbances such as ESD/EFT, which may otherwise propagate to
other parts of the network.
• To isolate noisy segments.
• When using several power supplies a repeater could be used to isolate the
supplies from each other to avoid voltage potential differences and ground
currents.

3 Software overview
3.1 Information about the internal slave device
3 Software overview
General
To use the DeviceNet internal slave device, the IRC5 controller must be installed
with the option 709-1 DeviceNet Master/Slave.
The DeviceNet internal slave device can be used to:
• connect the IRC5 controller to a PLC.
• connect the IRC5 controller to another IRC5 controller which acts as a master.
The DeviceNet internal slave device shares address and physical connector with
the master.
Predefined Network
When the robot system is installed with the DeviceNet option, a predefined industrial
network with the name DeviceNet is created at system startup.
Predefined internal slave device

When the robot system is installed with the DeviceNet Master/Slave option, a
predefined internal slave device with the name DN_Internal_Device is created at
system startup.
EDS file
An Electronic Data Sheet file, EDS file, is available for the internal slave device,
matching the configuration of the predefined internal slave device.
The EDS file, IRC5_Slave_DSQC1006.eds, for the internal slave device can be
obtained from the RobotStudio or the IRC5 controller.
• In the RobotWare installation folder in RobotStudio: ...\RobotPackages\
RobotWare_RPK_<version>\utility\service\ioconfig\DeviceNet\
• On the IRC5 Controller: <SystemName>\PRODUCTS\
<RobotWare_xx.xx.xxxx>\utility\service\EDS\
Note
Navigate to the RobotWare installation folder from the RobotStudio Add-Ins tab,
by right-clicking on the installed RobotWare version in the Add-Ins browser and
selecting Open Package Folder.
Changing the predefined input and output sizes

If another input or output size than the predefined is used, it is recommended to
edit the values in the EDS file to match the new system parameter values.
An example from the EDS file where the predefined input and output sizes are
changed from 8 bytes to 16 bytes is shown below:
[IO_Info]
Default = 0x0000;
Input1 = 16;

3 Software overview
Continued
Output1 = 16;
I/O connection
The internal slave device supports both Polled and Change-of-State (COS)
connection. Size and connection type supported are defined in parameter DeviceNet
Internal Device, see Type DeviceNet Internal Device on page 111.
Note
When using Polled Connection on a DeviceNet device, the output signals of the
device will be updated directly.
Note
If the DeviceNet internal slave device loses connection with the master, for
example if the connection is interrupted, the input signals of the slave device are
cleared (reset to zero).
Limitations
The DeviceNet internal slave device has the following limitations:
• The predefined internal slave device DN_Internal_Device is supporting a
polled connection with the size of 8 digital input bytes and 8 digital output
bytes but can be increased to the maximum value, which is 64 digital input
bytes and 64 digital output bytes.
• Both the input and output map starts at bit 0 and ends at bit 63.

3 Software overview
3.2 Information about the internal master
General
To use the DeviceNet internal master, the IRC5 controller must be installed with
the option 709-1 DeviceNet Master/Slave.
The DeviceNet internal master can be used to:
• connect DeviceNet I/O devices to the IRC5 controller.
• connect the IRC5 controller to another IRC5 controller which acts as a slave.
Predefined Network
When the robot system is installed with the DeviceNet Master/Slave option, a
predefined industrial network with the name DeviceNet is created at system startup.
Device Templates
There is a set of predefined device templates available for the internal master.
These device templates can be used when defining a new device by using the
Configuration Editor in RobotStudio or FlexPendant, see Internal master
configuration on page 38. Examples of present device templates are:
• ABB DeviceNet Slave Device is used on the master side to connect to an
IRC5 DeviceNet slave using the DeviceNet PCI Express board.
• ABB DeviceNet Anybus Slave Device is used on the master side to connect
to an IRC5 DeviceNet slave using the DeviceNet Anybus Slave.
• DeviceNet Generic Device is used on the master side to connect to an I/O
device when the EDS file is unavailable, using Change Of State connection.
Generic Device template

Use the DeviceNet Generic Device template if the EDS file is unavailable. Using
this template, you only need to know the network address of the I/O device to be
able to communicate with it.
When the I/O device is connected, event messages containing the information
necessary to configure the device, will appear on the Event Log window of the
FlexPendant. The following information appears:
• Device identification system parameters (Vendor ID, Device Type and Product
Code)
• The connection system parameters of the device (Connection Type,
Connection Input Size and Connection Output Size)
Other system parameters for the device can be left to their default values.

3 Software overview
Continued
For more information, see Configuration of third party devices on page 43.
Note
The DeviceNet Generic Device template should only be used when installing
and commissioning new I/O devices because it will increase the startup time.
When restarting the system, the identification of the I/O device will be lost and
there will not be any information if the I/O device is replaced with another I/O
device, which has other functionality or size.
Template I/O configuration files

Template I/O configuration files are available for the DeviceNet I/O devices from
ABB Robotics. These files contain a predefined I/O device with I/O signals for all
available inputs and outputs. The files can be loaded to the controller, using
RobotStudio or the FlexPendant, to facilitate and speed up the configuration.
The template configuration files can be obtained from the RobotStudio or the IRC5
controller.
• In the RobotWare installation folder in RobotStudio: ...\RobotPackages\
RobotWare_RPK_<version>\utility\service\ioconfig\DeviceNet\
• On the IRC5 Controller: <SystemName>\PRODUCTS\
<RobotWare_xx.xx.xxxx>\utility\service\ioconfig\DeviceNet\
Note
Navigate to the RobotWare installation folder from the RobotStudio Add-Ins tab,
by right-clicking on the installed RobotWare version in the Add-Ins browser and
selecting Open Package Folder.
For more information about the DeviceNet devices from ABB Robotics, see Boards
and devices on page 47.
Number of allowed I/O devices

A maximum number of 20 user defined I/O devices can be defined on the DeviceNet
industrial network in the IRC5 system, for more information see Device Type of
I/O System section inTechnical reference manual - System parameters, see
References on page 7. DeviceNet has an addressing range from 0-63.
The following are counted as user defined I/O devices:
• All DeviceNet slave I/O devices connected to the IRC5 DeviceNet master.
• Simulated DeviceNet I/O devices.
Note
The internal slave device is not counted as an user defined I/O device.
ABB I/O devices and I/O devices from other vendors can be used. No additional
software option, except for the DeviceNet Master/Slave option, is required to run
I/O devices from other vendors.

4 Configuring the internal slave device
4.1 Recommended working procedure

General
The internal slave device is pre-installed at the system startup. However, the input
and output size of the device can be changed.
This section describes the recommended working procedure when installing and
configuring an internal slave device. The working procedure helps to understand
the dependencies between the different steps.
When the IRC5 controller is connected to an external master, the IRC5 controller
acts as an ordinary device on the DeviceNet network.
Note
It is only possible to have one internal slave device.
Basic steps
Use this procedure to install and configure a DeviceNet slave.

4.3 Configuring the external master
4.3 Configuring the external master
General
The external master is configured using the vendor specific configuration tool that
is delivered, or bought, together with the master.
The tool is used in order to specify all the devices in the DeviceNet network. One
of the devices is the internal slave device of the IRC5 controller. To be able to
create such a device, the EDS file describing the internal slave device has to be
imported into the vendor specific configuration tool, see EDS file on page 29.
All other I/O devices used in the network also has to have its EDS file imported.
External master configuration

This procedure describes the general steps that needs to be performed when
configuring an external master, independent of which tool is used.
Action
1 Use the external master configuration tool to:
• Specify the address of the external DeviceNet master.
• Import the EDS files for the internal slave device and all other types of I/O
devices in the network.
• Add the IRC5 controller I/O device and set the same DeviceNet address as
in the IRC5 controller.
• Add any other I/O devices into the network structure.
• Add signals for all I/O devices including the IRC5 controller I/O device.

5.2.4 Configuration of third party devices
Description of DeviceNet generic device templates

The predefined device template DeviceNet Generic Device can be used to set up
a communication with any I/O device in an easy way.
Usage
When new DeviceNet I/O devices should be configured and the information available
is not sufficient to create a new device, then the template DeviceNet Generic Device
could be used to retrieve necessary information. This could be the case when third
party devices should be configured and the EDS file is missing.
Note
When using the template DeviceNet Generic Device, you accept any type of
device as long as the address matches - that is, make sure to use the correct
address.
Prerequisites
The network address of the I/O device must be known and the baud rate must
match the master.
Data presented on the FlexPendant

In the Event Log window of the RobotStudio or FlexPendant, you get information
about the following system parameters:
• Vendor ID
• Product Code
• Device Type

5.3 Communication between two IRC5 controllers
Usage
When two IRC5 controllers are connected to each other via DeviceNet, one of them
must be configured as a master and the other one must be configured as a slave.
Note
It is also possible to communicate between two IRC5 controllers using a

DeviceNet master in one controller, and a DeviceNet anybus slave device in the
other controller.
For more information, see Application manual - DeviceNet Anybus Slave.
Limitations
The DeviceNet address cannot be the same on the two controllers since they shall
be interconnected.
Note
At startup, both controllers will have the same default value for the DeviceNet
address. One address needs to be changed.

External devices
External relay coils, solenoids, and other devices that are connected to the controller
must be neutralized. The following sections describe how this can be done.
Note
The turn-off time for DC relays increases after neutralization, especially if a diode
is connected across the coil. Varistors give shorter turn-off times. Neutralizing
the coils lengthens the life of the switches that control them.

6.2.2 DSQC 351B, DeviceNet/INTERBUS gateway
Description
The DSQC 351 is a circuit board normally mounted in the control module. As an
option, it may also be mounted in an external I/O device.
The device handle input and output signals between the DeviceNet system and
the INTERBUS system.
Communication concept
The INTERBUS system is able to communicate with a number of external devices,
depending on the number of process words occupied by each device. The robot
controller may be equipped with several DSQC 351 boards. The INTERBUS inputs
and outputs are accessible in the robot controller as general inputs and outputs.
The following figure is an outline diagram of the communication concept:
xx0100000224

B Robot 1 controller, word 1-4
C Robot 2 controller, word 5-8
D Robot 3 controller, word 9-12
E 128 inputs/128 outputs
F 64 inputs/64 outputs
Note
A link is connected between pin 5 and 9 in the plug on the interconnection cable
connected to the OUT connector (connector X21) of each device. The link informs
the INTERBUS device that more devices are connected further out in the chain.
(The last device does not have a cable connected and therefore no link.)

Additional information
The data areas of the gateway are "byte-consistent", which means that signals
within the same byte (groups of 8 bits) are handled as one piece and are guaranteed
to belong to the same network-cycle. Normally this does not cause any problems,
but if a group signal has been defined across the byte boundaries as e.g. a 16 bit
group signal this needs to be considered. It is important to make sure that undesired
behaviors are avoided in the case when the group signal is updated at exactly the
same time as the gateway is being polled/scanned by one of the masters.
The values for the DeviceNet Command are stored in flash memory of the gateway
module. Any change of these values requires a reset (or power cycle) of the gateway
module before it actually assumes these new values.
Note
The DeviceNet Command's DataWidth and Reset, described above, must be

defined for the I/O device repesenting the specific gateway module. See Type
DeviceNet Command on page 113 and Template I/O configuration files on page 32.

6.2.3 DSQC 377B, Queue tracking device
Description
The encoder device DSQC 377 provides connection for one encoder and one digital
input (synchronization switch), and includes queue tracking functions.
Usage
The encoder device is normally used for installation on a conveyor to enable the
robot programs to synchronize to the motion (position) of the conveyor (conveyor
tracking).
The digital input is used for synchronization switch (also called sync signal), which
means conveyor synchronization point.

ENC 1A/1B Green Indicates phase 1 and 2 from encoder. Flashes at each En-
coder pulse. At frequencies higher than a few Hz, flashing
can no longer be observed (light will appear weaker).
If there is no light, there is an error due to one or more of
the following reasons:
• Faulty power supply for input circuit (internal or ex-
ternal).
• Defective input circuit on board.
• Short circuit or broken wire in external wiring or con-
nectors.
• Internal error in device.
Constant light indicates constant high level on input and
vice versa.
No light on one LED indicates fault in one encoder phase.
DIGIN1 Green Lit when digital input is active.
The input is used for external start signal/conveyor synchron-
ization point.
If there is no light, there is an error due to one or more of
the following reasons:

6.2.4 DSQC 378B, DeviceNet/CCLink gateway
Description
The DSQC 378 device offer an interface between the CCLink network and the
DeviceNet network as used on the robot system. The devices are regarded as
intelligent devices by the CCLink PLC.
Communication concept
The CCLink can communicate with a number of external devices, depending on
the number of stations occupied by each device. There is a maximum of 64 stations,
each capable of up to 32 I/O points and 8 points word data. The devices are setup
to have between 1 and 4 occupied stations each. The CCLink device is connected
to the CCLink PLC by a twisted pair cable with shield.
The CCLink inputs and outputs are accessible in the robot controller as general
inputs and outputs.

The data areas of the gateway are "byte-consistent", which means that signals
within the same byte (group of 8 bits) are handled as one piece and are guaranteed
to belong to the same network-cycle. Normally this does not cause any problems,
but if a signal group has been defined across the byte boundaries as e.g. a 16 bit
group signal this needs to be considered. It is important to make sure that undesired
behaviors are avoided in the case when the group signal is updated at exactly the
same time as the gateway is being polled/scanned by one of the masters.
The values for the DeviceNet Command are stored in flash memory of the gateway

module before it actually assumes these new values.

8.1 Bus off
8 Trouble shooting
8.1 Bus off
Description
The master/slave channel goes bus off when an excessive number of
communication errors are detected and the CAN chip automatically goes off-line.
An event message will inform the users that bus off has occurred. The master/slave
channel will automatically try to recover from bus off and if succeeded an event
message will inform the user that the master/slave channel has recovered from
bus off.
The network can be restarted from FlexPendant or RobotStudio. When the
DeviceNet network is in error state, tap the Start button under Industrial Network
in FlexPendant.
Consequences
Bus off indicates a serious communication fault such as incorrect baud rate or
physical layer error (short, open etc.).
Possible causes
The symptom is caused by:
• Different baud rates on the master and some I/O devices (the I/O devices do
not support auto baud rate).
• No power or faulty power on the network.
• Short circuit between CAN high and CAN low.
• Cable length on trunk cables and drop cables.
• Faulty terminations.
Recommended actions
In order to remedy the symptom, the following actions are recommended:
Cause Action/Info
Different baud rates on the master and Cycle the power of the devices or manually
some devices. (The I/O devices do not change the baud rate of the devices.
support auto baud rate.)
No power or faulty power on the network. Refer to Shield grounding and power on page 21
Cable length on trunk cables and drop Refer to Selecting cables on page 25 or Repeat-
cables. ers on page 26.
Faulty terminations. Refer to Termination resistors on page 23.
Note
If the master/slave channel goes bus off, the devices on the network also can
go bus off. The only way to recover these devices is to cycle the power on the
device (the behavior may be different depending on the manufacturer of the
device).

8 Trouble shooting
8.2 Bus Scan
8.2 Bus Scan
Overview
When a bus scan or automatic configuration operation is activated, the DeviceNet
master will send requests to all valid network addresses. If the device is already
configured against another DeviceNet master, or operating at wrong baud rate, or
is not online, the device can not be contacted for the data gathering of the required
configuration parameters. If the device is not found with automatic configuration,
it might still be possible that the device will work if it is manually added.
