one for DeviceNet.
I/O Messaging
The Anybus-X allows an EtherNet/IP scanner access to the I/O data of DeviceNet
slaves. The data produced by the DeviceNet slaves is collected in the Input Table
(IN) of the Anybus-X and becomes the EtherNet/IP Input I/O to the EtherNet/IP
scanner. EtherNet/IP Output data from the scanner is stored in the Anybus-X’s
Output Table (OUT) and sent to the DeviceNet slaves which consumes it.
