ControlLogix Controller
Example

After the option module is configured, the drive and option module will be a
single node on the network. This section provides the steps needed to configure a
simple DeviceNet network (see

Figure 6

). In our example, we will configure a

ControlLogix controller with 1756-DNB scanner to communicate with a drive
using Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and 32 Datalinks (16 to
read and 16 to write) over the network.
