Other Communication Networks
You can bridge to the
DeviceNet®
network outside of the redundant chassis. You can put DeviceNet®
modules in a remote I/O chassis, but connection modules may not be bumpless during a switchover event.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the redundant chassis to bridge between networks. Bridging through the redundant chassis to the same or different networks or routing messages through a redundant chassis is not supported.
Chassis Bridge from EtherNet/IP to Remote I/O Networks
Item | Description |
|---|---|
A | No I/O in redundant chassis |
B | DeviceNet® |
C | RIO |
D | DH+™ /RIO |
E | Third-party |
The following table shows the system components that you can use with each network that is connected to a redundant chassis pair. If you use a network from a third-party vendor, the vendor is responsible for testing and validation.
Network | Connection to Redundancy System | I/O | HMI |
|---|---|---|---|
EtherNet/IP™ | Directly to redundant chassis | Yes | Yes |
Via a bridge | No | Yes | |
DeviceNet® | In a controller chassis | No | No |
Via a bridge | Yes | Yes | |
Third-party | In a controller chassis | No | No |
Via a bridge | Yes | Yes |
