A-B 1747-SDN SLC 500 DeviceNet Scanner Module System Components

The Example Application

This manual describes how to set up an example application. The

manual provides examples of each step of the setup, with references

to other manuals for more details.

System Components

We used the following devices and software for the example

application. For your own application, substitute your own devices to

fit your needs. The recommended configurations in this user manual

will help you set up the test system and get it working. Your eventual

configuration will depend on your application.

The 1747-SDN module communicates with DeviceNet devices over

the network to:

• read inputs from a device.

• write outputs to a device.

• download configuration data.

• monitor a device’s operational status.

The 1747-SDN module communicates with the processor in the form

of M1/M0 File Transfers and/or Discrete I/O. Information exchanged

includes the following:

• Device I/O data

• Status information

• Configuration data

A processor to I/O DeviceNet configuration is shown in the following

figure. See the referenced chapters for more information.
