Purpose of this Guide
This guide contains technical and product-related information on the SST-DN3-PCI-1
and SST-DN3-PCI-2 network interface cards.
The SST-DN3-PCI-1 consists of a single DeviceNet network interface (or
channel
),
and the SST-DN3-PCI-2 comprises two independent interfaces, controlled by
independent CPUs. Each CPU executes downloadable application firmware modules,
which enable application-level product behavior. For more details, refer to relevant
firmware documentation.
Note
An application running on one channel does not affect the performance
of other channels, as it does not share memory or processor resources
with them.
Note
In this manual, the SST-DN3-PCI-1 and SST-DN3-PCI-2 will be
referred to as the
card
, except where product differences apply.
Using this Guide
If you are running a 3
rd
party application or writing your own application using the card’s DLL
calls, the sections of interest in this guide will be “Card Overview”, “Installation” and potentially
“Troubleshooting”. If you are writing your own application in a non-Windows environment
(interfacing directly with the card’s memory registers), we recommend that you read the whole
guide.
