SLC 500 Programmable Controllers and I/O Modules
DeviceNet connectivity for the SLC 500 is provided by the following interfaces:
1747-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Module
The 1747-SDN DeviceNet Scanner modules acts as an interface between DeviceNet devices and SLC
5/02 or higher processors. The scanner communicates over the DeviceNet network to:
• Read inputs and write outputs
• Download configuration data
• Monitor operational status
The scanner communicates with the SLC processor to exchange I/O data. Data includes device I/O data,
status information, and configuration data. A single scanner can communicate with up to 63 nodes. The
SLC system can support multiple scanners.
1761-NET-DNI DeviceNet Interface Device
The DNI takes the DF1 full-duplex commands, wraps them in the DeviceNet protocol and
sends them to the target DNI. The target DNI removes the DeviceNet information and
passes the DF1 command to the end device (Also acts as an interface for DF1 devices
to the DeviceNet network).
This capability works between controllers, between PCs and controllers, and for program
up/downloading. I/O and data messages are prioritized, which minimizes
I/O determinism problems typically encountered on networks that support I/O
and messaging simultaneously.
Features
• Mixes high-speed local control with distributed DeviceNet I/O
• Peer-to-peer messaging between MicroLogix, SLC 5/03, 5/04, 5/05, PLC-5s, PCs and other devices
• Programming and online monitoring over the Device Net network
•With a DNI connected to a modem, you can dial in to any other DNI-Controller combination
on DeviceNet
