Ethernet-to-DeviceNet Linking Device 7
Rockwell Automation Publication 1788-IN055C-EN-P - September 2011
System Requirements
The following hardware and software components are required to use the
linking device.
Required Hardware
• 1788-EN2DN linking device
• DeviceNet cabling, power, and devices forming a DeviceNet network
• Ethernet cabling and power
• Computer with access to the Ethernet network
• Computer running DeviceNet configuration software
The DeviceNet slave devices with which the linking device
communicates are specified using a DeviceNet Configuration Software
tool such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
• 24V DC power to the linking device
DeviceNet power may be used; however, using DeviceNet power
bypasses the DeviceNet network isolation.
Required Software
• DeviceNet configuration software, such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software, version 4.01 or later, to configure DeviceNet devices and the
linking device’s DeviceNet functionality
• RSLinx
®
software, version 2.31 or later
• DHCP server 2.3.2 or later, which ships with RSLinx software version
2.42 and later. If you are using an earlier version of RSLinx software, you
will need to download the standalone server from
