RSNetWorx Software as a
Configuration Tool
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software is used to configure the 1771-SDN
module’s data tables. This software tool connects to the 1771-SDN
module over the DeviceNet network via a PC RS–232 interface
(1770–KFD module), or PC Card (1784-PCD, -PCID, or PCIDS).

Interscan delay is the time between
I/O scans (polled and strobed). It is
the time the 1771-SDN module will
wait between the last poll message
request and the start of the next scan
cycle.
Background poll ratio sets the
frequency of poll messages to a
device in relation to the number of
I/O scans. For example, if the ratio
is set at 10, that device will be
polled once every 10 scans.
TIP
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software can also
communicate with the 1771-SDN module via a
ControlNet, Ethernet, or Data Highway Plus network.
