1.4 I-8124W Architecture
The I-8124W provides the way to establish DeviceNet network rapidly by
Master/Slave connection model. It is a high-performance DeviceNet master
module with inside CPU. This architecture of the I-8124W only needs few
resources of main control unit (such as WinPAC-8000, ViewPAC-8000, XPAC-
8000
…) and really increases the work efficiency on DeviceNet network.
Applying the I-8124W, you
don’t need to take care of the detail of the
DeviceNet protocol. The firmware implements the DeviceNet protocol to help
you setting up the connection with DeviceNet slave devices easily. The
illustration of the idea is shown as Figure 1.2.
