8.7.5 DeviceNet Interface (P/N 1295-0329)

The DeviceNet network is a low-level network that provides connections between simple
industrial devices and higher-level devices (such as PLC controllers and computers). DeviceNet
network uses a combination of taps and shielded, twisted pair media for device connection.
For more information about DeviceNet, see www.odva.org.
Furthermore, the Allen Bradley DeviceNet Cable System Planning and Installation Manual is
useful.

The data map used by the DeviceNet interface is shown in Table G-5. The interpretation of the
data is in Table G-3 and Table G-4.
Successful commissioning of a DeviceNet Networks requires the use of a network management
tool.
Such a tool can be constructed using a PC, an interface card and RSNetWorx or similar
software. Use of special DeviceNet media is required. DeviceNet requires that each network
segment include a power supply.

8.7.6 ControlNet Interface

ControlNet a real-time, control-layer network providing for high-speed transport of both time-
critical I/O data and messaging data, including upload/download of programming and
configuration data and peer-to- peer messaging, on a single physical media link. Deterministic
and repeatable, ControlNet offers high- speed, media redundancy and intrinsically safe options.
For more information about ControlNet, see www. controlnet.org. Technical Information on the
Allen- Bradley 1747-SCNR ControlNet interface which is used in the Vertex M is available at
http://literature. rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/public/documents/ webassets/browse_
category.hcst.
The data map used by the ControlNet interface is shown in Table G-5. The interpretation of the
data is in Table G-3 and Table G-4.
Successful commissioning of a ControlNet Networks requires the use of a network
management tool. Such a tool can be constructed using a PC, an interface card and RSNetWorx
