DeviceNet Network
Communication
The CompactLogix 5370 L2 and L3 controllers communicate with other devices
over the DeviceNet network via a Compact I/O™ 1769-SDN DeviceNet scanner.
The DeviceNet network uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to provide
the control, configuration, and data collection capabilities for industrial devices.
Available Software
The software applications that are listed in this table are required when using a
CompactLogix 5370 L2 or L3 controller on a DeviceNet network.
