DeviceNet Added

    Sept. 1, 2003
    The GLC2000 Series, a combined human-machine interface and logic controller, now has another option for I/O support–DeviceNet.

    The DeviceNet Master Module allows the GLC2000 Series to control DeviceNet I/O networks, eliminating the need for a third-party DeviceNet configurator. Previously, the GLC2000 was limited to the vendor’s brand of Flex Network I/O. The DeviceNet Master Module supports Polled, Bit-Strobe, Change of State and Cyclic connection types, and supports up to 63 slaves with up to 48 words or bits on each, with a maximum of 1,008 total words or bits.
