    I have two D series controllers that are equipped with 1JF boards and what I believe are Devicenet slaves.

    I need basic IO, are there any good cost effective solutions to utilize these boards?

    Or should I purchase two 1GW boards and swap them for the 1JF boards.

    What does swapping the 1JF boards for the 1GW boards entail? (I'm assuming there are configuration settings that would need to be changed.)

    1JF boards are the interface boards that are designed to host Anybus fieldbus modules, such as devicenet, profibus, cclink (to name but a few).

    Can you find out what boards are installed on the 1JF boards?

    Usually there are some Anybus part no.s printed on a yellow or white label attached to them.

    I maybe interested in taking them off you hands.

    I ask this as devicenet boards were available as:

    - A adpater/scanner board (this is the board I am very interested in).

    - A slave board.

    If you have a devicenet adapter/scanner board, you may be able to locate an extended devicenet IO module, which you can connect to it and it acts just like remote IO.

    Siemens ET200 range has these modules.

    The devicenet extended IO module is as below:

    The associated IO are below which can be attached to the module:

    Other OEMS like Beckhoff, Wago, Allen Bradley also supply these types of devices but I think from a budget perspective, they will be far more expensive than 1GW's.

    I have the Siemens ET200 hardware already but could never find a master/scanner board to try and set it up, so the above is speculative as if it could work or not and could be expensive.

    As mentioned above if you happen to have a master/scanner, I would certainly be interested in taking it off your hands.

    The cheapest and simplest way would be to do what you propose and simply swap them out for 1GW's.

    Quote from Lantz

    What does swapping the 1JF boards for the 1GW boards entail? (I'm assuming there are configuration settings that would need to be changed.)

    You have 2 options:

    1. Leave general fieldbus enabled.

    - Un-allocate ALL IO that have been assigned to the devicenet.

    - Set them back to local.

    - Set the amount of IO to that of the installed 1GW's (each board has 32 inputs/32 outputs.

    2. Disable the general fieldbus.

    - This removes all signal allocations.

    - Set the amount of IO to that of the installed 1GW's (each board has 32 inputs/32 outputs.

    Disabling the general fieldbus requires level 3 authorisation which removes the general fieldbus options from Aux 06 GUI.

    Leaving it enabled does not and as below, you can un-allocate the fieldbus manually then, and set the no. of IO correctly for the installed 1GW.s

    Thank you!

    That confirms what I was looking into as how to utilize the fieldbus. The only part I have is the 1JF boards with the slaves.

    I'm going to track down a couple 1GW boards to replace the 1JF boards.

    Thanks for the screen shots with the aux info.

    Bugger!!!!......... :wallbash: ........ :bawling:

    I was keeping my fingers crossed there for a 50999-2280 (AB5087-B).

    Never mind though, many thanks posting the image though.

    Yep, if you know how to access maintenance mode, option 12 allows to disable general fieldbus so it removes menus from teach pendant.

    Otherwise the screenshots earlier should allow to revert to 1GW's.
