Introduction

This user manual is designed to provide you enough information to get a small example application up and running.

Use this manual if you are knowledgeable about DeviceNet and SLC 500 products,

but may not have used the products in conjunction. The information provided is a base;

modify or expand the examples to suit your particular needs.

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

DeviceNet software.

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.
