DeviceNet Course

DeviceNet course software with DeviceNet PDF lab manual.

DeviceNet tutorial
Use this DeviceNet software with the DeviceNet PDF manual to learn about the DeviceNet cable connecting industrial devices and working in the automation industry. Device Net protocol is an excellent example of running an Industrial Networking Protocol over a Controller Area Network (CAN) media layer.
The DeviceNet software includes a DeviceNet PDF Laboratory Manual for use by Tech Schools, Community Colleges, Company Training Departments, Apprenticeship Programs, and individuals.
Many know this DeviceNet training software as Allen Bradley DeviceNet, but it also includes a simulation of Cutler-Hammer Automation's NetView Software while covering Explicit Messaging. This DeviceNet Training includes audio narration, starts with the "What is DeviceNet" section, and ends with the DeviceNet troubleshooting section.

Also, this DeviceNet course is interactive. Pictured right is a screenshot of the DeviceNet wiring and architecture exercise. After studying the DeviceNet system on the previous screen, on this one, you drag and drop DeviceNet network components and nodes to their proper layout.
The DeviceNet power supply specification and DeviceNet wiring are covered extensively with 15 screens and interactions. Pictured here is an interactive chart calculating the distance between nodes based on the chosen DeviceNet cable type and network architecture.
The DeviceNet cable pinout is explained here via interaction. The high interactivity engages the student and brings each concept to life. As with each screen, there is audio narration too.
There is even a Device Net power supply calculator that explains each variable in the DeviceNet power supply selection process based on nodes/devices on the network. It also provides an example estimate of the network node device's current drain. The DeviceNet course includes a calculator for determining the voltage drop of the network because it is critical in designing and maintaining an efficient DeviceNet network. The results of the calculations are graphically displayed on the next screen, emphasizing the results.
As with all Koldwater electrical controls training, the DeviceNet course ends with a DeviceNet troubleshooting section. Also included is a unit covering tips and tricks for the successful commissioning of a network. These are things we learned the "hard way!"
