As an EtherNet/IP Target, the module supports the following method to read/write data from an

EtherNet/IP network.

• With support for EtherNet/IP Class 1 connection, DeviceNet data can be mapped to an input

and output Class 1 cyclic connection to the Logix controller.

As a EtherNet/IP Originator, the module supports three methods to read/write data from an

EtherNet/IP network:

• With support for EtherNet/IP Explicit messaging, the router can use Class 3 or unconnected

messages (UCMM) to send/receive data from remote EtherNet/IP devices.

• With support for Direct-To-Tag technology, DeviceNet data can be read from or written to

Logix tags without the need for code in the Logix controllers.

• With support for EtherNet/IP Class 1 connection, the router can own up to a maximum of 10

EtherNet/IP devices and exchange DeviceNet data using the device’s input/output

assemblies.

As a Modbus Server, DeviceNet data can be written to the module’s internal Modbus registers. These

registers can be accessed by a remote Modbus client using the Modbus TCP/IP or RTU protocol.

As a Modbus Client, DeviceNet data can be written to the module’s internal Modbus registers. The

integrated Modbus auxiliary mapping feature can be used to configure Modbus data exchange between

multiple Modbus server devices and the module’s internal Modbus registers using the Modbus TCP/IP

or RTU protocol.

The DeviceNet Router B is configured using the Slate Configuration Utility software tool.

The DeviceNet Router B includes a webserver to display DeviceNet operation and communication

statistics and advanced diagnostics functions like built-in packet capture for the various protocols. The

router has two Ethernet ports to support Device-Level-Ring (DLR) architectures.
