DeviceNet from a DH+
Network
Before performing this example the DH+ network must be configured
and running. In this example, the PLC-5 processor’s DH+ channel A is
configured as node 1. Use your own DH+ configuration when
performing this example.
Configuring the DeviceNet Pass-Through Driver
Before you can communicate with the 1771-SDN module via a DH+
network, you must first configure the DeviceNet pass-through driver
(1771-SDNPT) with a DH+ port. RSLinx, version 2.10 or higher, is
required.
Perform the following steps.
1. Start RSLinx.
2. From the Communications menu, select Configure Drivers.
The Configure Drivers window will appear.
3. Select DeviceNet Drivers from the Available Driver Types
pull-down list and click on Add/New.
