Audience

This manual is intended for control engineers and technicians who are

installing, programming, and maintaining a control system that

includes an SLC 500 processor communicating on a DeviceNet

network through a 1747-SDN module.

We assume that you:

• are developing a DeviceNet network by using a SLC 500

processor in conjunction with a 1747–SDN module.

• know each of your device’s I/O parameters and requirements.

• understand SLC processor programming and operation.

• are experienced with the Microsoft Windows environment.

• are familiar with RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.

The manual contains instructions on configuring a DeviceNet network by using RSLinx and RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.

It also describes how to use the SLC 500 pass-through feature to communicate with the DeviceNet

network for adjustment and tuning of network devices via an Ethernet and Data Highway Plus (DH+) network.

The example application demonstrates how to perform control on a DeviceNet network by using

an SLC 500 processor and the 1747-SDN module. You use RSLogix 500 programming software to create

a ladder logic program to control a photoeye and a RediSTATION operator interface.
