Communicating with Devices on a DeviceNet Link 8-13
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to configure the 1788-CN2DN
device on the DeviceNet network
Placing DeviceNet devices
The linking device supports 124, 32-bit words each of input data, output data,
and status data. How you configure the DeviceNet devices determines how
many words you use per device.
Most DeviceNet devices support 16-bit words. Take care how you map these
into the 32-bit words used in RSLogix 5000 programming software.
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet lets you DINT-align the device data. While this
might simplify the organization of the data, it might also limit the data you
have available.
