I’m looking to add a DeviceNet Gateway to an existing fully loaded network. As anyone who has ever designed a DeviceNet system can attest, care must be taken when designing drop length and total current consumption, as the DNET chip itself is powered by the network.
For most devices the draw is 0.080 to 0.2A but the draw on the spec sheet says 400mA, nearly double the highest I’ve ever seen, so I believe the 400mA draw is for the entire module. Does any one know what the load (current consumption, amperage, draw, whatever you want to call it) on the DeviceNet is?
Thanks
