About This User Manual
Introduction This user manual is designed to provide you enough information to
get a small example application up and running. Use this manual if
you are knowledgeable about DeviceNet
™
and SLC 500
™
products,
but may not have used the products in conjunction. The information
provided is a base; modify or expand the examples to suit your
particular needs.
The manual contains instructions on configuring a DeviceNet network
using RSLinx and RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. It also describes
how to use the SLC-500 pass-through feature to communicate with the
DeviceNet network for adjustment and tuning of network devices via
other networks, including:
•
Ethernet
•
Data Highway Plus (DH+)
The example application demonstrates how to perform control on a
DeviceNet network using an SLC 500 processor and the 1747-SDN
module. You use RSLogix 500 programming software to create a
ladder logic program to control a photoeye and a RediSTATION
™
.
IMPORTANT
This User manual should be used in conjunction
with the 1747-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Module
Installation Instructions, publication 1747-5.8. The
