DeviceNet Protocol
The terminals support DeviceNet Scheduled I/O only. DeviceNet
allows direct connection of field devices such as lights, drives, and
valves. It also provides a control architecture that supports multiple
processors. DeviceNet is a trunk/drop or bus-based network that
supports up to 64 nodes and operates at 125, 250, or 500 K baud.
Compatible DeviceNet Controllers
A terminal with a DeviceNet Module communicates with an SLC-500
and PLC-5 (PCCC commands), or a ControlLogix processor (CIP
protocol) using Unscheduled messaging. Supported controllers
include:
• ControlLogix using 1756-DNB module
• PLC-5 with a 1771-SDN module
• SLC 5/03 - SLC/505 with a 1747-SDN module
