 Connecting a Non-OMRON Configurator
This section describes how to connect OMRON Slaves to a non-OMRON Master.
Do not perform communications with a bit strobe connection for Slaves that have outputs. DeviceNet
I/O communications have multiple connection types, such as poll and bit strobe, but for DeviceNet
specifications, bit strobe connections are used for inputs only. Following these specifications, OMRON
Master Units communicate with output Slaves by using a poll connection.
Some non-OMRON Masters perform communications with output units by using a bit strobe
connection. Check the specifications before performing connections when connecting with a non-
OMRON Master.
When connecting an OMRON Slave to a non-OMRON Master, it is necessary to install the OMRON
Slave's EDS file in the non-OMRON Configurator, and set the Slave data in the Master. (Some non-
OMRON Masters can be connected with performing this setting.) In addition to enabling connection to
non-OMRON Masters, installing the EDS file in the Configurator also enables setting specific
parameters for each Slave by using the Configurator.
If the EDS file cannot be obtained or the non-OMRON Configurator does not support EDS files, you must directly input
the connection type and the data size.
Refer to the following devices profiles if more detailed DeviceNet specifications for Slaves are required
when registering the scan list.
