Chapter 2 Network Communication
DeviceNet Network
Communication The DeviceNet network uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to
provide the control, configuration, and data collection capabilities for
industrial devices. The DeviceNet network uses the proven Controller Area
Network (CAN) technology, which lowers installation costs and decreases
installation time and costly downtime.
A DeviceNet network provides access to the processing features of your field
devices by letting you network plant-floor controllers to the field device
without having to hard wire each device to an I/O module.
CompactLogix DeviceNet Scanner
To use your 1769-L23 or 1769-L23E packaged controller on a DeviceNet
network, you must use a DeviceNet module in an expansion slot.
Use a CompactLogix DeviceNet scanner (1769-SDN) if your application:
• requires communication with other DeviceNet devices.
• uses the packaged controller as a master or slave on the
DeviceNet network.
• uses a packaged controller and its Ethernet or serial port for other
communications.
For more information about other DeviceNet modules that maybe be used on
the DeviceNet network, see the DeviceNet Modules in Logix5000 Systems
User Manual, publication
DNET-UM004 .
