Communicating with the DeviceNet Network
from Another Network
What This Chapter Contains This chapter describes how to communicate with the DeviceNet
network from another network, by using the SLC 500 pass-through
feature. This feature can be used to adjust and fine tune the nodes on
your network. Examples are provided for communicating from an
Ethernet network and a Data Highway Plus network.
The following table describes what this chapter contains and where to
find specific information.
ATTENTION
The pass-through feature is not intended to replace a
1770-KFD, 1770-PCD, 1770-PCID, or 1770-PCIDS connection to
the network.
Pass-through is intended only for fine tuning and adjustment of
your network devices. Do not attempt to configure your entire
network by using a pass-through driver or a time-out may occur.
The pass-through method is not suitable for real-time
monitoring of your network devices.
