1403-NDNET

The Allen Bradley 1403-NDNET functions as a vital communication card within the Powermonitor II series. This component is specifically designed for DeviceNet networks and features microprocessor control. It is also identified as a dual-port card, thereby facilitating enhanced connectivity. The device is compatible with Powermonitor II master modules, providing a reliable method for integrating with existing monitoring systems.

Its primary function revolves around equipping the Powermonitor II modules with a DeviceNet port, thus allowing them to communicate effectively within broader system architectures. DeviceNet baud rates supported by the 1403-NDNET include 125K, 250K, and 500K, providing flexibility regarding network speed options.

Isolation at the communications port is rated at 500V, ensuring safety and reliability in operation. The card contains two configurable assemblies, enabling tailored setups suited to specific application needs. The communication architecture adheres to a producer-consumer model, enhancing system efficiency.

Moreover, the card supports a custom data table, which facilitates unique data handling requirements. Real-time diagnostics capabilities are included, permitting continuous monitoring of communication health. The 1403-NDNET also accommodates cyclic messaging, polled I/O messaging, and peer-to-peer communications, allowing for versatile interaction modes with explicit server messaging. This combination of features positions the 1403-NDNET as a highly functional option for communication in complex networked environments.
