Communicating with DeviceNet from Another Network 5-3
The SLC 500 chassis used for these examples was set up with the
following hardware mapping. The SLC 5/04 processor was used for
the DH+ example. The SLC 5/05 processor was used for the Ethernet
example.
Communicating with
DeviceNet via an Ethernet
Network
Before performing this example the Ethernet network must be
configured and running. You must use an Ethernet SLC 5/05 processor
(catalog number 1747-L551, 1747-L552, or 1747-L553).
Establishing Ethernet pass-through communications involves four
main steps:
1. You use RSLinx to configure the Ethernet to SLC-5 driver to
communicate with the SLC 5/05 processor over the Ethernet
Network. This procedure is described on pages 5-4 to 5-6.
2. After you configure the Ethernet to SLC-5 driver, you use RSLinx to
configure the DeviceNet pass-through driver to communicate with
the 1747-SDN module via the SLC 5/05 processor and the Ethernet
network. This procedure is described on pages 5-6 to 5-9.
3. You configure the SLC 5/05’s Ethernet communication channel.
This can be done using RSLogix 500 software when you create the
example ladder program. The Ethernet channel configuration is
described in Appendix B.
4. You use the pass-through driver with RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software to adjust and tune your DeviceNet network. The
procedure for doing this is described on pages 5-9 to 5-11.
