The 1747-SDN/B has the following features. You activate these
features using DeviceNet Manager Software. For more information,
refer to your DeviceNet Manager Software User Manual (publication
number 1787-6.5.3) and your 1747-SDN Scanner Configuration
Manual (publication number 1747-6.5.2).
Slave Mode
The slave mode feature allows processor-to-processor
communication. Slave mode also allows the scanner to perform as a
slave device to another master on the network.
Like any other slave, when the scanner module is in slave mode, it
exchanges data with only one master. You control what information
is exchanged through scan list configuration and associated mapping
functions of DeviceNet Manager software.

The slave mode function has the following variations:
The scanner is in: When:
Null Mode it contains an empty or disabled scan list (out-of-
box default)
Master Mode it serves as a master to one or more slaves but is
not simultaneously serving as a slave to another
master
Slave Mode it serves as a slave to another master
Dual Mode it serves as both a master to one or more slaves
and as a slave to another master simultaneously
Change of State
The change of state function notifies the scanner module to perform
a scan:
•whenever a network data change occurs, or
•at a user-configurable heartbeat rate
Because data is only sent on an as-needed basis, change of state
increases system performance by reducing network traffic.
Cyclic I/O
The cyclic I/O feature allows you to set the scanner module to
perform a scan at a specific send rate.
Because data is only sent at a periodic rate, cyclic I/O increases
system performance by reducing network traffic.
Other New Information
Along with these new features are areas in this document that are
different from the previous edition. These areas are marked with
change bars (as shown to the right of this paragraph) to indicate the
addition of new or revised information.

Publication 1747-5.8 – July 1997
The M0 and M1 files are data files that reside in the module. There is
no image for these files in the processor memory. The M0 file is a
module output file and the M1 file is a module input file. Both M0
and M1 files are read/write files.
M0 and M1 files can be addressed in your ladder program and they
can also be acted upon by the module, independent of the processor
scan.
Important: During the processor scan, M0 and M1 data can be
changed by the processor according to ladder diagram instructions
addressing the M0 and M1 files. During the same scan, the module
can change M0 and M1 data, independent of the rung logic applied
during the scan.
Address the M0-M1 Files
The addressing format for M0 and M1 files is as follows:
Mf:S.w/b
Where M = module
f = file (0 or 1)
S = slot (1–30)
w = word (0–maximum supplied by the module)
b = bit (0–15)
When You Cannot Use M0-M1 Data File Addresses
You can use M0 and M1 data file addresses in all instructions except
the OSR instruction and the instruction parameters below.

To show the state of the M0 or M1 addressed bit, transfer the state to
an internal processor bit. This is illustrated below, where an internal

Transfer Data Between Processor Files and M0 or M1 Files
The processor does not contain an image of the M0 or M1 file so you
must edit and monitor M0 and M1 file data via instructions in your
ladder program. For example, you can copy a block of data from a
processor data file to an M0 or M1 data file or vice versa using the
COP (copy) instruction in your ladder program.
The COP instructions below copy data from a processor bit file and
integer file to an M0 file.

The COP instruction below copies six words of data from an M1
data file in a module positioned in slot four to an integer file (N1:0).
This technique is used to monitor the contents of an M0 or M1 data
file indirectly, in a processor data file. An update of these six words
is made for each SLC program scan.

Reduce Scan Time
To reduce processor scan time, use discretion when you use
instructions addressing the M0 or M1 files. For example, XIC
instruction M1:2.1/1 is used in rungs 1 and 2 below, adding
approximately 2 ms to the scan time if you are using a 5/02, Series B
processor.

XIC instructions in rungs 1 and 2 are addressed to the M1 data file. Each of
these instructions adds approximately 1 ms to the scan time (5/02, Series B
processor).
In the equivalent rungs below, XIC instruction M1:2.1/1 is used only
in rung 1, reducing the scan time by approximately 1 ms.

These rungs provide equivalent operation to those of the previous diagram by
substituting XIC instruction B3/10 for XIC instruction M1:2.1/1 in rung 2. Scan
time is reduced by approximately 1 ms (5/02, Series B processor).
] [
The first two ladder diagrams in the last section illustrate a technique
you use to capture and use M0 or M1 data as it exists at a specific
time. In the first diagram, bit M1:2.1/1 could change state between
rungs 1 and 2. This could interfere with the logic applied in rung 2.
The second diagram avoids the problem. If rung 1 is true, bit B3/10
captures this information and places it in rung 2.
Tip

1747-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Module Installation Instructions14
Publication 1747-5.8 – July 1997
The following diagram illustrates another economizing technique.
The COP instruction addresses an M1 file, adding approximately
4.29 ms to the scan time if you are using a 5/02, Series B processor.
You can save scan time by making this rung true only periodically.
For example, you can use a clock bit S:4/8 (clock bits are discussed
in the programming manual). A rung such as this might be used
when you want to monitor the contents of the M1 file, but
monitoring need not be continuous.

Length 6
S:4/8 causes the M1:4.3
file to update the N10:0
file every 2.56 seconds.
In this example, a COP instruction can be used to monitor the
contents of an M1 file. When the instruction goes true, the six words
of data in file #M1:4.3 is captured as it exists at that time and placed
in file #N10:0. All subsequent logic should address the data in
#N10:0. The data will be consistent and it shortens scan time by
eliminating reads to the module each time an M0 or M1 address is
encountered in the program.
The SLC 500 processor reads input data from the module using two
methods:
•input image table
•M1 file transfer
Input Image Table
The input image table is a 32-word table for the module slot that is
updated by the processor with each program scan. The first word
(word 0) is reserved for the module status register. The remaining 31
words can be used to transfer DeviceNet input data to the SLC input
image table. The addressing format is:
I:S.w/b
Where S = slot
w = element (0–31)
b = bit (0–15)

Module to the SLC
Processor

1747-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Module Installation Instructions 15
Publication 1747-5.8 – July 1997
Module Status Register
The module status register is located at word 0 in the input image
area for the slot. Bits 0–5 echo back to the processor, the current
state of bits 0–5 of the module command register. The echoes verify
that the commands were executed. The module sets the remaining
bits when it detects a problem. The bits latch in the ON state until the
problem clears. Bits 6 and 8 indicate that you should read the device
failure table for more specific information about which devices
failed.
You can use bit 6 to keep the communication port in the idle mode
until the bit clears. When the bit clears, this indicates that all devices
in the scanner’s scan list are up and available. When the devices are
available, you can put the port in run mode. If a device failure is
detected, you can put the communication into the idle mode, so that
all output devices go to a safe state.
The SLC program can monitor the bits in the module status register
and set the appropriate bits of the module command register to
automatically control the operating mode of the module should a
device failure occur.

Duplicate Node Address Failure
There is another node with the same address as the scanner on the network.
SLC M1 File
The SLC M1 file is a 256 word file that can be used to transfer a
large quantity of information to the module with a single SLC
instruction. Transferring data using this file takes more time than
using the input image table.

1747-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Module Installation Instructions 17
Publication 1747-5.8 – July 1997
The first 150 words are used for data transfer from the module. The
remaining 106 words are reserved for:
•node status
•scan counter
•device idle table
•device failure table
•auto verify table
•explicit message program control
For a detailed description of the mapping of input and output image
tables, refer to page 9.
Node Address/Status Indicator
Word 210 is used for node address and scanner diagnostic
information displayed in numeric codes. The descriptions of these
codes are listed on page 28.
Scan Counter
Word 211 is used for the module scan counter. The module
increments this counter whenever a scan of the DeviceNet devices is
completed. The counter rolls over when it reaches a maximum value
of 65535. It is located at M1:S.211.
Device Idle Table
Words 212 through 215 in the M1 file are used for the device idle
table. This table indicates that there are devices on the network in
idle mode. The module tracks devices in idle mode by assigning one
of the 64 bits in the table to each device on the network. The bits are
assigned in consecutive order to consecutive device addresses
starting at mode 0 at M1.S.212/0.
Device Failure Table
Words 216 through 219 in the M1 file are used for the device failure
table. This table indicates communication failures of devices on the
network. The module tracks device failures by assigning one of the
64 bits in the table to each device on the network. The bits are
assigned in consecutive order to consecutive device addresses
starting at mode 0 at M1.S.216/0.

1747-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Module Installation Instructions18
Publication 1747-5.8 – July 1997
Auto Verify Failure Table
Words 220 through 223 in the M1 file are used for the auto verify
failure table. The auto verify failure table is used to verify that data
size received from the device matches the setting in the module input
data map. The module tracks auto verify failures by assigning one of
the 64 bits in the table to each device on the network. The bits are
assigned in consecutive order to consecutive device addresses
starting with node 0 at M1:S.220/0. If the bit is set, the
corresponding node has failed to verify.
Explicit Message Program Control
Words 224 through 255 are used for Explicit Message Program
Control. Use this feature to configure device parameters on your
DeviceNet network via the M0 and M1 files in the SLC processor
that is controlling these devices. This feature is described in detail on
page 20.
The SLC 500 processor writes output data to the module using two
methods:
•output image table
•M0 file transfer
Output Image Table
The output image table is a 32-word table for the module slot that is
updated from the processor with each program scan. The first word
(word 0) of this table is reserved for the module command register.
The remaining 31 words can be used to transfer data from the SLC
output table to the DeviceNet nodes.
Module Command Register
The module command register is located at word 0 in the output
image area for the slot. To execute a command, set the appropriate
bits in the module command word using SLC ladder instructions.
The following table describes the functionality of the command
register bits.

SLC M0 File
The SLC M0 file is a 256 word file that can be used to transfer a
large quantity of information to the module with a single SLC
instruction. Transferring data using this file can take several scans
and more time than using the output image table. The first 150 words
are used for sending data to DeviceNet nodes. The next 74 words are
reserved for future use and the last 32 words are used for explicit
message program control.

Use the Explicit Message Program Control feature to configure
device parameters on your DeviceNet network via the M0 and M1
files in the SLC processor that is controlling these devices.
You can use Explicit Message Program Control only with devices
that are slaves of your 1747-SDN Scanner Module. These slave
devices must be mapped in the scanner module’s scan list.
Use the Explicit Message Program Control feature to:
•transmit configuration data from your scanner module to its slave
devices on your DeviceNet network
•receive status and diagnostics from these devices on your
DeviceNet network
•make runtime adjustments to device parameters according to
changing conditions detected by your processor
