Woodhead SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card

 The Woodhead SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card is an industrial-grade DeviceNet network interface card (DeviceNet Interface Card), designed to connect computers or control hosts with DeviceNet bus devices through standard PCI slots. It enables real-time data communication and exchange based on the DeviceNet protocol, and is commonly used in automation systems for monitoring, controlling, and diagnosing the status of field devices.

1️⃣Industrial-grade DeviceNet master station interface capability
The SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card is specifically designed for the master station applications in the DeviceNet network. It can play the role of stable data scheduling and network management in the upper system, and is suitable for the requirements of real-time and determinacy in complex industrial sites.
2️⃣ Dual network channels operate independently
This interface card adopts a dual DeviceNet channel architecture. Each channel can be independently configured and operated, and it supports simultaneous connection to different DeviceNet networks, effectively reducing the reliance on additional hardware during system expansion.
3️⃣ Design for long-term operational reliability
The SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card is equipped with industrial-grade electronic components and a mature bus communication scheme, making it suitable for long-term stable operation in control systems that operate continuously for 7×24 hours.
4️⃣ Highly compatible with the upper-level control and monitoring system
This card can be seamlessly integrated into industrial PCs, industrial control servers or dedicated control hosts, serving as a crucial communication bridge between the DeviceNet network and upper-level applications (such as HMI, SCADA, diagnostic software).
5️⃣ Clear network status feedback mechanism
Through the on-board status indicator design, the SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card can clearly display network communication, node response and abnormal states, helping engineers quickly locate the problem and reduce downtime.

✅ Reduce system complexity
With the dual-channel design of the SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card, one card can meet the requirements of multiple networks, reducing the space occupied by the chassis and the complexity of system wiring.
✅ Enhance the stability of industrial communication
Compared with the general communication interface, this interface card performs more reliably in terms of DeviceNet network scheduling, data consistency and anti-interference, and is suitable for critical industrial control scenarios.
✅ Extend the lifecycle of the automated system
Given that a large number of existing DeviceNet field devices are still in operation, the SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card enables enterprises to maintain their original network architecture and avoid the need for extensive system renovations.
✅ Easy for engineering deployment and maintenance
The mature PCI architecture and standardized communication mode make the operation of this interface card more intuitive during system replacement, maintenance or upgrade, and reduce the difficulty of engineering implementation.
✅ Suitable for spare parts and replacement applications
As a mature model, the SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card is often used for system expansion, interface replacement, or as a critical communication spare part to ensure the continuous operation of the system.

The SST-DN3-PCI-2 Interface Card is applicable to a variety of industrial automation system scenarios, including but not limited to:
Industrial control system integration
Connect PC or industrial control host to the DeviceNet automation network to achieve unified monitoring and control of on-site equipment.
Equipment monitoring and data acquisition
Real-time collection of on-site DeviceNet device (such as sensors, driver modules) data, for use in SCADA, HMI or historical trend analysis.
Distributed Control System (DCS) connection
In the distributed control system environment, DeviceNet network devices are uniformly connected to the host layer or the upper-level control layer.
Mechanical Equipment Diagnosis and Maintenance
Utilizing the DeviceNet protocol to achieve on-site equipment communication and status feedback, assisting in predictive maintenance and fault diagnosis of equipment
