Preface
About This User Manual
Introduction
This user manual is designed to provide you enough information to
get a small example application up and running. Use this manual if
you are knowledgeable about DeviceNet™and PLC-5™products, but
may not have used the products in conjunction. The information
provided is a base; modify or expand the examples to suit your
particular needs.
The manual contains instructions on configuring a DeviceNet network
using RSLinx and RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. It also describes
how to use the PLC-5 pass-through feature to communicate with the
DeviceNet network for adjustment and tuning of network devices via
other networks, including:
•ControlNet
•Ethernet
•Data Highway Plus (DH+)
The example application demonstrates how to perform control on
DeviceNet using a PLC-5 processor and the 1771-SDN module. You
use RSLogix 5 programming software to create a ladder logic program
to control a photoeye and a RediSTATION™.
IMPORTANT This User manual should be used in conjunction
with the 1771-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Module
Installation Instructions, publication 1771-5.14. The
Installation Instructions contain important
information on configuring your scanner.

Terminology
This term Means
Bridge The scanner module’s support of explicit message transfer.
Change of State A type of I/O data communication. The scanner module can send and
receive data with slave devices that have the change of state feature. Data
is sent whenever a data change occurs. Data is updated at the rate of the
heartbeat.
Communication
Module
The 1771-SDN scanner module or the 1770-KFD module.
Cyclic A type of I/O data communication. The scanner module can send and
receive data with slave devices that have the cyclic feature. Data is only
sent at a user-configurable rate.
EDS Electronic Data Sheet. A vendor-supplied template that specifies how
information is displayed as well as what is an appropriate entry (value).
Explicit
Messaging
A type of messaging used for lower priority tasks, such as configuration
and data monitoring.
Heartbeat Rate Devices that are configured for change of state data can also send a
“heartbeat” signal to indicate proper operation.
Host Platform The computer that hosts the 1771-SDN scanner module.
I/O An abbreviation for “input and output”.
Implicit
Messaging
The type of messaging used for high priority I/O control data; e.g., change
of state, cyclic, polled, or strobed.
Input Data Data produced by a DeviceNet device and collected by the scanner module
for a host platform to read.
MAC ID The network address of a DeviceNet node.
Network The DeviceNet network or the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software
representation of the network.
Node Hardware that is assigned a single address on the network (also referred
to as device).
Offline When the PC communication scanner is not communicating on the
network.
Online When the PC communication scanner is configured and enabled to
communicate on the network.
Output Data Data produced by a host platform that is written to the scanner module’s
memory. This data is sent by the scanner module to DeviceNet devices.
PC Abbreviation for an IBM®compatible personal-computer.
Polled A type of input/output-data communication. A polled message solicits a
response from a single, specified device on the network (a point-to-point
transfer of data).
Record The node address and channel-specific memory assigned in the scanner
module’s non-volatile storage for a node in the scanlist.
Rx An abbreviation for “receive”.
Scanlist The list of devices (nodes) with which the scanner is configured to
exchange I/O data.
Scanner The function of the 1771-SDN scanner module to support the exchange of
I/O with slave modules.
Slave Mode The scanner module is in slave mode when it is placed in another scanner
module’s scanlist as a slave device.
Strobed A type of I/O data communication. A strobed message solicits a response
from each strobed device (a multicast transfer). It is a 64-bit message that
contains one bit for each device on the network.
Tx An abbreviation for “transmit”.

Chapter 1
Before You Begin
What This Chapter Contains
This chapter provides an overview of communication between a
PLC-5 processor and DeviceNet devices via a 1771-SDN module. The
data tables and the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet screens and windows
used to configure the data tables are also described.
The following table identifies what this chapter contains and where to
find specific information.
What You Need to Know
Before configuring your 1771-SDN scanner module, you must
understand:
•the data exchange between the PLC -5 processor and DeviceNet
devices through the 1771-SDN module
•user-configurable 1771-SDN module data tables
•the role of RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software

What Your 1771-SDN
Module Does
In a typical configuration, the 1771-SDN module acts as an interface
between DeviceNet devices and the PLC-5 processor.
The 1771-SDN module communicates with DeviceNet devices over
the network to:
•read inputs from a device
•write outputs to a device
•download configuration data
•monitor a device’s operational status
The 1771-SDN module communicates with the processor in the form
of Block Transfers (BT) and/or Discrete I/O (DIO). Information
exchanged includes:
•device I/O data
•status information
•configuration data
