Ground Your Network
You only need to ground a flat media DeviceNet network at one
location. Follow the guidelines below:
• Ground the V- conductor
at one place.
• Make this ground connection with a 25 mm (1 in.) copper braid
or a #8 AWG wire up to a maximum 3m (10 ft) in length.
• Use the same ground for the V- conductor of the cable system
and the chassis ground of the power supply. Do this at the
power supply.
Set up the 1771-SDN
Scanner for SKITs 3 and 4
The scanner is the DeviceNet master (controller interface)
coordinating all control data to and from all devices on the DeviceNet
network. This DeviceNet data is transferred between:
• the SLC-500 and 1747-SDN via M1/M0 and discrete I/O transfers
• PLC-5 and 1771-SDN via block transfers and discrete I/O
transfers
• PCIDS and logic engine (such as SoftLogix 5 or your own
application) via I/O Linx driver running in the NT kernel
This data is then used in the ladder logic program to do the actual
control logic.
