DeviceNet Overview
Chapter Objectives This chapter provides an overview of:
• DeviceNet protocol
• Controller support
• DeviceNet modules
• DeviceNet module indicators
DeviceNet Protocol The PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE terminals support
DeviceNet I/O only. DeviceNet allows direct connection of devices. 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 Kbps.
Supported Controllers A PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE terminal with a DeviceNet
communication module can connect with other devices. Typical
controllers supported include:
• 1756-DNB module for the Control Logix network
• 1771-SDN module for the PLC-5 network
• 1747-SDN module for the SLC 5/03 to SLC 5/05 network
DeviceNet Module There are two DeviceNet communication modules:
• 2711P-RN10C for PanelView Plus 400 and 600 terminals
• 2711P-RN10H for PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE 700
to 1500 terminals
For details how to install the modules on the terminals, refer to the
2711P-IN003 installation instructions that ship with the module.
ATTENTION
The DeviceNet network is not supported on a personal
computer running RSView Machine Edition software.
