1-1-2 Monitoring DeviceNet or DeviceNet Safety Systems via Ethernet
from Controllers Made by Other Manufacturers
Devices on a DeviceNet or DeviceNet Safety network can be accessed from
general-purpose controllers (e.g., PLCs or computers) in an Ethernet network
using the UDP service.
This enables monitoring a DeviceNet or DeviceNet Safety control system via
Ethernet from a machine controller or monitor computer that does not support
a DeviceNet interface. This can be used to easily add a DeviceNet Safety con-
trol system to an existing system.
