ControlNet-to-DeviceNet Linking Device
1788-5.2B - October 1999
The Example Installation
This installation manual provides an example showing how to link the DeviceNet
network to a ControlNet network to communicate with a Logix5550 controller. A
1756-CNB interface module must be in the chassis with the Logix5550
controller. Note that this is but one example. The CN2DN linking device can be
used with any Allen-Bradley controller that is provided with a ControlNet
interface.
