OPENNET CONTROLLER USER’S MANUAL 1-3
System Setup
This section describes various system setup configurations for using powerful communication functions of the OpenNet
Controller
.
Open Network Communication System
The OpenNet Controller can be connected to three open network communication lines — DeviceNet, LONWORKS, and
INTERBUS.
OpenNet interface modules are available for communication through DeviceNet and LONWORKS networks. The OpenNet
interface modules, such as DeviceNet slave modules and LONWORKS interface modules, serve as a slave station or node in
the network.
A remote I/O system can be set up using a remote I/O master module mounted next to the CPU module and SX5S commu-
nication I/O terminals at remote I/O slave stations. When using 32 SX5S modules with 16 input or output points, a total of
512 I/O points can be distributed to 32 remote s lave stations at the maximum. The remote I/O network uses the INTER-
BUS protocol for communication. The total cable length can be 12.8 km (7.95 miles) maximum.
One remote I/O master module can be mounted with the
OpenNet Controller CPU module. In addition, a maximum of
seven functional modules including OpenNet interface modules and analog I/O modules can be mounted with one Open-
Net Controller
CPU module.
