Connections to DeviceNet devices
In this example the controller uses two connections (one for status and one for
I/O) to communicate with the DeviceNet devices through the 1788-DNBO
module. The 1788-DNBO module uses a rack-optimized connection to the
DeviceNet devices.
The following table calculates the connections in this example.
The 1788-DNBO card does not establish connections to its devices; and
therefore, the controller does not establish connections with DeviceNet
devices. The 1788-DNBO module acts as a scanner that gathers all the data
from its devices and packs that data together into one image that is passed to
