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.

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.
