6-9 DeviceNet Area
The DeviceNet Area address range from CIO 3200 to CIO 3799 for words and CIO 3200.00 to CIO
3799.15 for bits.
Words in the DeviceNet Area are allocated to Slaves for DeviceNet remote I/O communications. Data is
exchanged regularly with slaves in the network (independent of the program) through the DeviceNet
Unit.
Words are allocated to slaves using fixed allocations according to fixed allocation settings 1, 2, and 3.
One of these fixed areas is selected.
The following words are allocated to the DeviceNet Unit when the remote I/O slave function is used with
fixed allocations.
Additional Information
There are two ways to allocate I/O in DeviceNet networks: Fixed allocations according to node
addresses and user-set allocations.
• With fixed allocations, words are automatically allocated to the slaves in the specified fixed
allocation area (1 to 3) according to the node addresses.
• With user-set allocations, the user can allocate words to Slaves from the following words.
CIO 0 to CIO 6143
W0 to W511
H0 to H511
D0 to D32767
E00_0 to E0C_32767, Banks: 0 to 18 hex
(You cannot specify an EM bank that is higher than C.)
For details on word allocations, refer to the DeviceNet Operation Manual (Cat. No. W267).

With fixed allocation, words are assigned according to node
numbers. (If a Slave requires two or more words, it will occupy
as many node numbers as required to obtain enough words.)
