Starter Network Adapters (SNAP) (D77B Series) — DeviceNet SNAP
DeviceNet Starter Network 
Adapter Product (DSNAP)
Product Description
The Cutler-Hammer
® 
DeviceNet Starter 
Network Adapter Product (DSNAP) 
from Eaton’s electrical business is a 
front-mount device that serves as a 
single node on DeviceNet, providing 
communication capability, control and 
monitoring to Intelligent Technologies 
(IT.) Electromechanical Starters, as 
well as the S751 and S752 Soft Start, 
as listed in Tables 69 – 71.
The IT. DSNAP has an optional HANDS/
OFF/AUTO (HOA) module that enables 
the starter to be operated in hand 
mode; even if the DSNAP is not pow-
ered. The HOA option is used for cus-
tomers who need the extra security of 
manual control in conjunction with the 
communication capabilities of 
DeviceNet.
With the addition of a D64 zero 
sequence CT, the DSNAP can be 
enabled to detect ground faults for 
added protection.

Application Description
In a typical application, the DSNAP 
front mounts to an IT. starter or soft 
start. The DSNAP connects directly to 
DeviceNet, allowing for control and 
monitoring of the starter/soft start. A 
PC or PLC serves as the central control 
and scans the DSNAP for motor con-
trol and monitoring information. The 
HOA module provides for the ability 
to locate operators on the panel for 
manual operation.
