About This Publication

PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE terminals with a DeviceNet
communications module support DeviceNet scheduled I/O
communications. This guide will show you how to configure
DeviceNet communications between a PanelView Plus terminal and a
ControlLogix controller.

The PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE terminals can operate as a
slave or a scanner on the DeviceNet network. You will learn how to
configure a PanelView Plus terminal as a slave and a scanner using
RSView Studio Machine Edition, RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software,
and RSLogix 5000 programming software.
