Hardware
To use DeviceNet on the Gateway, an option card must
first be installed. The option card provides the hardware
necessary to support the CAN physical layer specifica-
tion as required by the DeviceNet standard.
Configuring the option card is a two-stage process; first
the option card must be selected in Gateway (DeviceNet
Option Card), and then the ‘DeviceNet Predefined
Group 2 Server Driver’ configured to run on the newly
created DeviceNet Interface port.
