present at the end of the Compact I/O expansion bus.

Choose Comms

System Comms to upload or download programs with

RSLogix 500 software.

System Comms will generate an RSLinx software dialog similar to the example

In this example, the DeviceNet interface is a 1770-KFD module. Selecting the
1770-KFD driver will show the devices on the DeviceNet network.

In this example, upload or download can be performed with the devices at
nodes 5, 6, 7, and 32. Node 32 is a 1769-SDN module. Simply highlight the
1769-SDN module and click either Upload or Download on the right side of
the screen.

IMPORTANT

DeviceNet networks can operate at 125 Kbps, 250 Kbps, or 500
Kbps. Depending on network size and communication activity,
performing program upload or download operations while the
network is controlling an application may impact control system
performance. It is up to you to know and understand how
upload and download will impact operations.
