DeviceNet Network Communication

The

DeviceNet®

network uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) to provide the control, configuration, and data collection capabilities for industrial devices. You can connect devices directly to plant-floor controllers without having to hard-wire each device into an I/O module.

In the following example, a

ControlLogix®

controller is connected to the

DeviceNet®

network and devices via the 1788-EN2DNR linking device.

For more information about

DeviceNet®

modules and devices, see DeviceNet Modules in Logix 5000 Control Systems User Manual, publication DNET-UM004.
