Predefined Master-Slave Connection Set
The so-called "Predefined Master/Slave Connection Set" is used for the DeviceNet
measuring system. This subset of the DeviceNet protocol simplifies the transmission
of I/O data between an automation system (PLC) and the decentralized peripheral
devices (slaves): Only "Group2 Messages" are supported, with the exception of
"Group1 Message for Slave I/O Poll Response".
DeviceNet Device Profiles
Beyond the specification of the pure communication functions, DeviceNet also
includes the definition of device profiles. These profiles define the respective device
types for minimally available objects and communication functions. The device type
number 08hex was defined for the DeviceNet measuring system.
Vendor ID
The vendor IDs (manufacturer’s identifiers) are assigned and administrated by the
ODVA™. The TR-Electronic vendor ID for DeviceNet™ is "134" (dec).
You can obtain further information on DeviceNet from the Open DeviceNet Vendor
Association (ODVA) or the following Internet addresses:
