The PLC 1769-ADN is a DeviceNet adapter that is compatible for use with 1769 CompactLogix or MircoLogix 1500 automation platforms. This module permits a controller or any compatible device to communicate and exchange data with field instruments and computer-based control system through the DeviceNet protocol.
This module supports transmission speed of 125k bit/s, 250k bit/s, and 500k bit/s using PLC DeviceNet cable. This utilizes Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) as the main communication backbone and partners to partner to an existing DeviceNet scanner module in the network. This adapter responds to the request of the Scanner such as 1769-SDN to provide the requested data.
This communication module may be used to interface and send messages to controllers belonging to the 1769 platform. It is also capable of responding to DeviceNet scanners of other Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) product family such as PLC5, SLC500 and ControLogix. This is achieved with the utilization of the supported messaging functions.
