The Master driver uses the database in two ways:
1 A read command issued to a slave device by the master driver will return the
slave data into the internal database
2 A write command issued to a slave device by the master driver uses the data
in the internal database to write to the slave device
The slave driver accesses data from the internal database. External DF1 master
devices can monitor and control data in this database through these slave
port(s). Setup of the slave ports only requires the CFG file.
4.2 EtherNet/IP Functional Overview
The ProLinx EtherNet/IP (DFNT) driver can be used to interface many different
protocols into the family of processors as well as other software-based solutions.
The DFNT driver supports Client connections as well as Server connections.
With the addition of the WEB hardware option, the module also provides HTTP,
FTP and Email capability.
The Ethernet driver interfaces with a common internal database in the module.
This permits the sharing of data across many different networks. processors
supported on the TCP/IP network include ControlLogix, PLC5 Ethernet and SLC
5/05.
The following illustration shows the functionality of the DFNT driver.
