Overview of DeviceNet Section 1-1
Overall System Configuration
Master Features
Master Units
Support remote I/O communications between OMRON PLCs (CS Series, CV
Series or C200HX/HG/HE/HS) and Slaves.
Support message communications between OMRON PLCs, or between an
OMRON PLC and Slaves and Masters from other companies.
VME Master Boards
Support remote I/O communications between a VME System and Slaves.
Open Network Controllers
Support easy connection to an information system via Ethernet.
Configurator Features
• Enables free (user-set) allocations to remote I/O.
• Enables multiple Master Units on a single PLC.
• Enables multiple Master Units in a single network.
• The Net-X Server can be used to easily monitor, change, or log I/O data
on the DeviceNet.
