1.3 PISO-DNM100 Architecture
The PISO-DNM100 provides users to establish DeviceNet network rapidly
by Master/Slave connection model. The PISO-DNM100 is a high-performance
DeviceNet master board with one CPU inside. This architecture of the PISO-
DNM100 almost doesn’t cost CPU resource and really increases the work
efficiency on DeviceNet network. Applying the PISO-DNM100, users don’t
need to take care of the detail of the DeviceNet protocol. The inside firmware
implements the DeviceNet protocol to help users to establish the connection
with DeviceNet slave devices easily. The illustration about the idea is shown as
Figure 1.2.
