on a DeviceNet Network
To communicate with the I/O modules over a DeviceNet network, add the
DeviceNet bridge to the I/O Configuration folder of the controller. RSNetWorx
for DeviceNet software is used to define the scanlist within the DeviceNet
scanner to communicate data between the devices and the controller through the
scanner.
