Connecting to the DeviceNet Network
The Configurator can be connected to the DeviceNet network online through
either of the following interfaces.
1,2,3...
1.
Dedicated Board/Card
3G8F5-DRM21-E: Dedicated ISA Board
3G8E2-DRM21-EV1: Dedicated PCMCIA Card
2.
Connection can also be made from the COM port of the computer to the
serial communications port (peripheral port, RS-232C port) of a CS/CJ-se-
ries CPU Unit or to the serial communications port (RS-232C port or
RS422A/485 port) of a Serial Communications Board/Unit. In this case, a
CS/CJ-series DeviceNet Unit (CS1W-DRM21 or CJ1W-DRM21) is neces-
sary for connection to the DeviceNet network.
If the Configurator is Ver. 2.11 or later, it is possible to connect to the De-
viceNet network across (up to three) network levels via serial communica-
tions, as shown below.
