5. Detailed Configuration
NOTE:
This section is recommended for advance users of DeviceNet and Brooks
PC products.
This section details all of the Classes, Instances, Attributes and Services
supported by the SLA5800/SLAMf Series PC. Differences between the PC
device types are noted as exceptions in each sub-section. The classes
detailed in the following sections can be categorized into the following
functional groups to indicate what aspect of the device is being configured:
Communications
Classes in this category define how the device communicates on DeviceNet.
A great majority of the information that is accessible is very well defined in
the DeviceNet specification and therefore does not require much custom
configuration. If the user of this device would like to do custom configuration
in this category, it is strongly recommended that the user have a thorough
understanding of these classes and DeviceNet protocols. More detail can be
found about these classes in the DeviceNet specification.
Data Flow
Classes in this category define how data is moved to and from Application
classes to the Communication classes. Again, much of what is detailed in
this category is provided for informational purposes and is very limited in its
ability to be customized
Application
This category of classes defines how the device is to function. In this case,
the attributes in these classes configure the behavior of a PC. Of all the
categories listed here, this is the most customizable.
The table below lists the classes accessible in the SLA5800/SLAMf Series
PC and their associated category. It also indicates if the class is present in
either of the PC device types.
