Features:
- Connects a PCI host to two independent DeviceNet channels.
- Assigns a dedicated processor to each network interface.
- Runs downloadable application firmware separately on both channels.
Woodhead SST-DN3-PCI-2 keeps the two DeviceNet interfaces electrically and computationally distinct, so communication activity remains assigned to the selected channel.
The host exchanges network data through the 32-bit PCI connection while each onboard processor manages its own CAN-side traffic.
Channel indicators present network and interface conditions at the card, supporting direct observation of the two communication paths.
The Woodhead SST-DN3-PCI-2 Dual-Channel DeviceNet PCI Interface Card may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Independent Channel Resources
- Channel Count: Two DeviceNet interfaces operate on the same PCI card.
- Processing: Each interface is controlled by its own onboard CPU.
- Memory Use: One channel does not consume the processor or memory resources of the other.
- Traffic Separation: CAN-side activity remains assigned to the corresponding channel.
Computer-Side Data Path
- Bus Format: The card installs in a 32-bit PCI host interface.
- Host Exchange: Network data passes between the computer and the selected channel resources.
- Parallel Operation: Both channels can communicate without sharing their network processors.
- Card Control: The host accesses each DeviceNet interface through the PCI connection.
DeviceNet Field Connections
- Network Medium: Each channel connects to a DeviceNet network through a CAN interface.
- Dual Links: Separate connectors keep the two field networks individually accessible.
- Network Power: DeviceNet-side power is accepted from 11 to 24 VDC.
- Channel Identity: Connector and indicator groupings distinguish the two network paths.
Processor Application Control
- Application Modules: Downloadable firmware defines the network behavior executed by each CPU.
- Separate Loading: A firmware module is assigned independently to each channel processor.
- Channel Execution: Network handling continues within the resources reserved for that interface.
- Status Feedback: Dedicated indicators show operating conditions for the two channel paths.
