ToolLink CDN466
™

DEVICENET™ SERIAL GATEWAYS

The ToolLink gateways connect RS232-based equipment directly to a DeviceNet industrial t
network. The ToolLink gateways offer streamlined functionality to simplify out-of-box t
configuration and run-time operation in DeviceNet applications.
The ToolLink gateways are powered directly from the isolated DeviceNet interface. The
ToolLink CDN466 contains an RS232 port. The serial interface is buffered for full-duplex t
operation, supporting user-selectable data rates, parity, and hardware or software flow t
control. Their EDS file contains all the information required to configure over DeviceNet, t
using standard network configuration software programs. Several example PLC programs
are available to simplify application development.
