Product Description

The 1203-GD1 is a Communications Module (specifically a SCANport to DeviceNet Link) that enables a SCANport-enabled host device—typically an older generation variable frequency drive (VFD)—to connect to a DeviceNet network. This adapter allows for the remote monitoring, configuration, and control of drives through a centralized PLC or industrial network, extending the lifecycle of existing hardware by making it compatible with more modern control architectures.

Product Parameters

• Model: 1203-GD1

• Communication Interface: SCANport to DeviceNet

• Input Voltage: Derived from the host device (SCANport) or external 24V DC network power

• Data Rate: 125 kbps, 250 kbps, and 500 kbps (DeviceNet standard)

• Current Consumption: Approximately 60 mA at 24V DC

• Connection Type: 5-pin open style connector for DeviceNet; circular cable for SCANport

• Indicators: Status LEDs for Module, Network, and SCANport health

• Operating Temperature: 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F)

Product Advantages

• Seamless Integration: Allows older Allen-Bradley drives to appear as standard nodes on a DeviceNet network, facilitating easier system upgrades.

• Remote Accessibility: Enables full access to drive parameters, fault logs, and real-time status from a central workstation, reducing the need for local manual intervention.

• Cost-Effective Upgrades: Eliminates the need to replace perfectly functional legacy drives just to achieve network connectivity.

• Compact Footprint: Small modular design allows for easy installation within existing control cabinets or drive enclosures.

• Plug-and-Play Functionality: Designed to be recognized quickly by Allen-Bradley software tools like DriveExplorer or Connected Components Workbench.

Precautions for Use

• Node Addressing: Ensure that the DeviceNet node address is uniquely set via the hardware switches or software before adding the device to a live network to avoid address conflicts.

• Cable Length Limits: Adhere strictly to DeviceNet trunk and drop line length limitations based on the chosen baud rate to prevent data corruption.

• Power Sequencing: Ensure the DeviceNet network power is stable before attempting to commission the drive communication to prevent “Module Fail” errors.

• Termination: Proper 121-ohm resistors must be present at both ends of the DeviceNet trunk line for the 1203-GD1 to communicate reliably.

Product Applications

• Retrofit Projects: Upgrading older 1336 Plus, 1305, or 1336 IMPACT drives to work with newer ControlLogix or CompactLogix systems via DeviceNet.

• Conveyor Systems: Synchronizing multiple drives across a long production line where centralized speed control is required.

• Pumping Stations: Monitoring drive load and energy consumption in remote water treatment or irrigation facilities.

• Material Handling: Integrating legacy motor controllers into a modern warehouse management system for automated sorting and tracking.
