Communicating with DeviceNet from Another Network 5-3
Communicating with
DeviceNet from a
ControlNet Network Before performing this example the ControlNet network must be
configured and running. A ControlNet processor (PLC-5C) is required.
In this example the PLC-5C processor is configured as ControlNet
node 16. Use your own ControlNet PLC-5C processor’s configuration
when performing this example.
Configuring the DeviceNet Pass-Through Driver
Before you can communicate with the 1771-SDN module via the
ControlNet network, you must first configure the DeviceNet
pass-through driver (1771-SDNPT) with a ControlNet port. RSLinx,
version 2.10 or higher, is required.
To configure the ControlNet pass-through driver perform the
following steps:
1. Start RSLinx.
2. From the Communications menu, select Configure Drivers.
3. From the list of Available Driver Types select DeviceNet Drivers
and click on Add/New.
