Information

Overview Manuals Engineering Considerations Product Applications Module Configuration

Features:

  • DeviceNet scanner for ControlLogix systems
  • Supports communication with up to 63 DeviceNet nodes
  • Compatible with a wide range of DeviceNet field devices
  • Integrated network diagnostics and status monitoring
  • Backplane-powered operation
  • Suitable for distributed I/O and device communication
The 1756-DNB module functions as a DeviceNet network scanner, allowing ControlLogix processors to communicate with a wide range of DeviceNet-compatible devices, including motor starters, drives, sensors, actuators, operator interfaces, and distributed I/O systems. It collects input data from field devices and transfers output commands from the controller to connected equipment through the DeviceNet network.

The module supports up to 64 DeviceNet nodes. Node addresses range from 00 to 63. Node address 63 is set by default. The module supports DeviceNet communication rates of 125 Kbps, 250 Kbps, and 500 Kbps. At 125 Kbps the maximum network distance is 500 meters. At 250 Kbps the maximum distance is 250 meters. At 500 Kbps the maximum distance is 100 meters.

The 1756-DNB Allen Bradley Communication module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Power Consumption: The 1756-DNB requires 350 mA at 5.1V DC and 210 mA at 24V DC from the ControlLogix chassis power supply. Ensure your chassis power supply has sufficient capacity to handle this module, especially in highly populated racks.
Series A-D modules are largely obsolete, and series E modules (which require a minimum of firmware V12) operate differently on earlier versions of Logix controllers.
Terminators & Grounding: The trunk line requires exactly two 121-ohm termination resistors (catalog number 1485P1-T) across CAN_H and CAN_L, installed at the furthest extremities of the network. The network shield should only be grounded at a single point (typically at the DeviceNet power supply).

Node Address & Baud Rate: You can set the node address and data rate using the manual configuration buttons on the front of the module or directly configure them in your software. The 1756-DNB features Autobaud functionality to detect the network speed.
RSLogix 5000 Setup: Open your project, go to the I/O Configuration tree, right-click, select New Module, and add the local or remote 1756-DNB.
Scanlist & Devices: Use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet to map I/O parameters, edit device parameters, and configure Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) if desired.

Technical notes

With a maximum capacity to connect up to 64 nodes, the 1756-DNB supports the expansion of device networks, making it suitable for extensive systems. The module requires 400 mA of current when powered at 5.1V DC, while at 24V DC, it does not draw any current. Notably, when operating within DeviceNet specifications, the module draws 60 mA at 24V DC to maintain functionality.

FAQs

  • What is the 1756-DNB?

    +
    The Allen-Bradley 1756-DNB is a ControlLogix DeviceNet Bridge and Scanner module. It allows ControlLogix controllers to communicate with and gather data from distributed DeviceNet field devices
  • Can I hot-swap the 1756-DNB module?

    +
    Yes, ControlLogix modules support hot-swapping, but you must remove the DeviceNet plug first. Leaving the DeviceNet cable connected while hot-swapping can send transients into the network and damage other nodes.
  • Can I run a 1756-DNB in a chassis without a local CPU?

    +
    Yes. A 1756-DNB can reside in a remote rack without a local controller, provided there is a bridging EtherNet/IP or ControlNet module in that same rack. A master controller in a separate, local chassis can then take ownership of the 1756-DNB across the network routing path.
  • What are the power specifications?

    +
    The module has a backplane power dissipation rating of approximately 5.8 Watts.
