Programming Over the
DeviceNet Network

Local Access to a DeviceNet Network

PCCC/DF1 messaging allows programming devices to connect to a
DeviceNet network, and upload/download/monitor and even edit
programs if the controller attached to the destination DNI supports
that functionality. Rockwell Software RSLogix 500/RSLinx (version 2
and higher) users can connect directly to the DeviceNet network using
a KFD, PCD, or PCI interface.

You can also use a DNI connected to the computer’s RS-232 port to
upload/download to other controllers connected to DNIs on a
DeviceNet network.

RS-232 Port DeviceNet Connection

IMPORTANT

Programming over a DeviceNet network via the DNI
is available only with RSLogix 5/500-based
controllers such as PLC-5, SLC, and MicroLogix.
