Linking Device LD 800DN
The linking device LD 800DN functions as an EtherNet/IP target on the EtherNet
network. It acts as a gateway device by forwarding the content of the messages from
EtherNet/IP networks to DeviceNet networks and vice-versa, without acting on the
content of the messages.
The LD 800DN Linking device acts as the DeviceNet Master in the DeviceNet
network, allowing connectivity to 63 DeviceNet slave devices.
Device Import Wizard
For configuring EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices using Control Builder, the
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file of the device is required. The EDS file is a
specially formatted ASCII file of the device, defining its characteristics. The device
vendor provides this file, to allow access to device configuration parameters. The
Device Import Wizard, an integrated component of the Control Builder, allows
importing of such EDS files into the hardware library.
