• 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

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

to collect data

You can use three addressing methods with your 1771-SDN scanner
module. The number of discrete I/O bits you have available for data
transfer is affected by the addressing mode selected.

1-5

The concept described below applies to both input and output data
tables. For example, when using your 1771-SDN in 1-slot addressing
mode, you have eight bits of discrete input and eight bits of output
available.
In the scanner’s input and output data tables, there is one byte of memory that is
reserved for communication between the processor and the scanner.
Processor-specific responses from the scanner are read by the processor in this byte
of the input data table. Scanner-specific instructions are written to this byte of the
output data table.

= bits reserved for 1771-SDN and
processor communication

= bits available for discrete
data transfer

2-slot addressing

0 bits for discrete data transfer

In 2-slot addressing mode, the only memory that would have
been available for discrete data transfer (8 bits) is taken up by
scanner/processor communication.

1-slot addressing

8 bits for discrete data transfer

In 1-slot addressing mode, there are 16 bits: eight bits for
scanner/processor communication, and eight bits for discrete
data transfer.

1/2-slot addressing

24 bits for discrete data transfer

In 1/2-slot addressing mode, there are 32 bits: eight bits used for
scanner/processor communication, and 24 bits for discrete data
transfer.

More

The address density is set via dip switches on the 1771-SDN module
and 1771 chassis. For more information about setting your module’s
address density with switches, refer to the 1771-SDN Scanner Module
Installation Instructions, publication 1771-5.14. For more information
about 1771-module addressing, refer to chapter 3 and to your PLC
programmable controller system-level installation manual and design
manual.

Communicating with
Your Devices
A strobe message is a
multicast transfer of data
(which is 64 bits in length)
sent by the 1771-SDN
module that solicits a
response from each strobed
slave device. There is one bit
for each of the possible 64
node addresses. The devices
respond with their data,
which can be as much as 8
bytes.

The 1771-SDN module communicates with a device via strobe, poll,
change of state, and/or cyclic messages. It uses these messages to solicit
data from or deliver data to each device. Data received from the devices,
or input data, is organized by the 1771-SDN module and made available
to the processor. Data received from your PLC-5 processor, or output data,
is organized in the 1771-SDN module and sent on to your devices.

IMPORTANT

Throughout this document, input and output are defined
from the PLC-5 processor’s point of view. Output is data
sent from the PLC-5 processor to a device. Input is data
collected by the PLC-5 processor from a device.
All data sent and received on a DeviceNet network is in
byte lengths. A device may, for example, produce only
two bits of input information. Nevertheless, since the
minimum data size on a DeviceNet network is one byte,
two bits of information are included in the byte of data
produced by the device. In this example (only two bits of
input information), the upper six bits are insignificant.

A poll message is a
point-to-point transfer of
data (0-255 bytes) sent by
the 1771-SDN module that
solicits a response from a
single device. The device
responds with its input data
(0-255 bytes).

DeviceNet Devices

1771-SDN Scanner Module
A change of state message
is a transfer of data sent
whenever a data change
occurs. A user-configurable
heartbeat rate can also be
set to allow devices to
indicate proper operation
during intervals between
data changes. This does not
solicit response data, but
may receive an acknowledge
message.
A cyclic message is sent only
at a user-configurable rate,
such as every 10 ms.

Input Data From
DeviceNet Devices

Input Data Storage

Data from a single device can
be mapped to separate
1771-SDN module memory
locations. For example,
“On/Off” values can be mapped
to one location, diagnostic
values to another, etc. This is
known as “map segmenting”.
This concept is illustrated by

segments A1 and A2.

Communicating with Your
PLC-5 Processor
A block transfer read (BTR) is
a block transfer of data from
the 1771-SDN module to the
PLC processor. The processor
is reading the data collected
by the 1771-SDN module
(i.e., DeviceNet input data).

A block transfer write (BTW)
is a block transfer of data
from the PLC processor to
the 1771-SDN module. The
processor is writing the data
to the 1771-SDN’s memory
(i.e., DeviceNet output data).

1-7

Your processor communicates with the 1771-SDN scanner module via
block transfer reads, block transfer writes, and DIO transfers.
Input data, gathered from the network’s devices, is organized within
the 1771-SDN and made available for the processor to “read”.

The 1771-SDN module does not send data to your processor.
Data transferred between the module and the processor must be
initiated by the processor. Output data is sent, or “written”, to the
scanner by your processor. This data is organized in the 1771-SDN
module, which in turn passes the data on to your scanned devices via
strobe, poll, change of state, or cyclic messages.

What 1771-SDN Module
Data Tables Are and What
They Do

To manage the flow of data between your processor and the network
devices, the 1771-SDN module uses the following data tables.
• 1771-SDN Module Configuration Table
• Scanlist Table
• Device Input Data Table
• Device Output Data Table
• Device Idle Table
• Device Failure Table
You can configure two of these data tables through RSNetWorx
software. These two tables are stored in the 1771-SDN module’s
non-volatile memory and used to construct all other data tables:
• Scanner Configuration Table (SCT)
• Scanlist Table (SLT)

The Scanner Configuration Table (SCT)
The SCT controls basic information your 1771-SDN module needs to
function on your DeviceNet network. It tells your 1771-SDN module:
• if it can transmit and receive input and output data
• how long it waits after each scan before it scans the devices
again
• when to send out its poll messages

The Scanlist Table (SLT)
The SLT supports I/O updating for each of your devices on the
network. It also makes it possible for your 1771-SDN module to make
device data available to your processor. The SLT tells your 1771-SDN
module:
• which device node addresses to scan
• how to scan each device (strobe, poll, change of state, cyclic or
any valid combination)
• how often to scan your devices

Publication 1771-6.5.132 - June 2000

Before You Begin

1-9

• exactly where in each device’s total data to find the desired data
• the size of the input data/output data
• exactly where to map the input or output data for your
processor to read or write

Interscan delay is the time between
I/O scans (polled and strobed). It is
the time the 1771-SDN module will
wait between the last poll message
request and the start of the next scan
cycle.

RSNetWorx Software as a
Configuration Tool

These values can be configured
automatically through the
AutoMap function or manually
through the Data Table Map.

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software is used to configure the 1771-SDN
module’s data tables. This software tool connects to the 1771-SDN
module over the DeviceNet network via a PC RS–232 interface
(1770–KFD module), or PC Card (1784-PCD, -PCID, or PCIDS).
TIP

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software can also
communicate with the 1771-SDN module via a
ControlNet, Ethernet, or Data Highway Plus network.

Planning Your Configuration and Data Mapping Your Devices

A very important question to answer is “what is on your network?”
You should be familiar with each device’s:
• communication requirements
• I/O importance and size
• frequency of message delivery
You should also ask “how might this network appear in the future?” At
this point in your planning, it is advantageous for you to have some
idea of how the network could be expanded. I/O data mapping can
be performed automatically by the RSNetWorx software. But when
mapping your I/O, you also have the opportunity to allot room for
future I/O. This can save time and effort in the future.
For example, RSNetWorx will automatically map the devices as
efficiently as possible, but the result is that multiple devices may share
the same word location in memory. However, you can also have the
system map the devices such that no two devices share the same
memory location by selecting the “Dword align” option when
performing automapping. You can manually map the devices if you
need to assign them to specific memory locations.
For details refer to the Help screens provided by the RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet software. Additional support can be found at the Rockwell
Software website: http://www.software.rockwell.com.

The Example Network

The following example illustrates a data mapping plan for a
DeviceNet network. Note that even if the mapping is performed
automatically by the RSNetWorx software, you must know where the
devices are mapped in order to use them in your network.

Example Network Devices
This example network has the following devices:
• a PC running RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software
• a 1771-SDN Scanner module interfacing a PLC-5 processor with
DeviceNet
• a Series 9000 photoelectric sensor (strobed)
• a RediSTATION operator interface (polled)

Going Online to the PLC-5 Processor
You cannot go online to the PLC-5 processor over DeviceNet. In order
to download and run the example application program in chapter 6
you must use the processor’s RS-232 connector, or download and run
the program via another network.
Chapter 6 provides examples of downloading and running the
application program via ControlNet, Ethernet, and Data Highway Plus
networks. Chapter 5 provides examples of configuring the DeviceNet
network over these networks.
To go online to the PLC-5 processor via ControlNet:
1. Set the PLC-5C ControlNet node address using the two 10-digit
rotary switches on top of the PLC-5C module.
For the example application we used node address 16.

TIP

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet performs a one-shot
browse when you go online or choose the browse
feature. The software will poll for devices once and
display the results. If a node which was online later
goes offline, there will be no “live” indication in
RSNetWorx. You must manually perform a browse to
detect the missing node.
To perform the browse, press the

button.

Setting the 1771-SDN Node Address
Once the devices are uploaded, their node addresses appear to the
right of their icons. For the example application, the 1771-SDN
scanner module should have a node address of “0” (or “00”). If you
need to change a module’s node address, use the following
procedure.
TIP

You can use this procedure to change the node
address of other devices on the network (e.g., the
Photoeye). You can also change the network data
rate (baud rate) of some devices. Power must be
cycled for baud rate changes to take effect.

If “00” appears to the right of the 1771-SDN icon and you do not need
to change the node address or baud rate of any device, skip the
remainder of this section and go to “Configuring the I/O Devices” on
page 4-9.

IMPORTANT

The network must not be active when performing
node commissioning on the 1771-SDN module. Make
sure the processor is in Program mode.
(Note that this applies only to the 1771-SDN. You
may commission other devices with the processor in

Communicating with DeviceNet
from Another Network

What This Chapter Contains

This chapter describes how to communicate with the DeviceNet
network from another network, using the PLC-5 “pass-through”
feature. This feature can be used to adjust and fine tune the nodes on
your network. Examples are provided for communicating from a
ControlNet network, an Ethernet network, and a Data Highway Plus
network.

ATTENTION

!
IMPORTANT

The pass-through feature is not intended to replace a
1770-KFD, PCD, PCID, or PCIDS connection to the
network:
•

Pass-through is intended only for fine tuning and
adjustment of your network devices. Do not
attempt to configure your entire network using a
pass-through driver, or a time-out may occur.

•

The pass-through method is not suitable for real
time monitoring of your network devices.

To use the pass-through feature you must have the
following versions of the RSLinx software and
1771-SDN module firmware:
Component

Software/Firmware Version

RSLinx software

2.10 or higher

1771-SDN module

4.003 or higher

You must have previously set up the network you will use to
communicate with the DeviceNet network and have installed and
configured the appropriate drivers and interface hardware. The 1771
I/O chassis used for these examples was set up with the following
hardware mapping:

Data Map Example
This appendix describes a basic mapping example that connects two
DeviceNet networks (channels A and B of the 1771-SDN scanner) to
62 simple sensor-type devices. Each device sends one data byte that
contains one data bit and one status bit.
These are given in response to a strobe message. With channel A
only, the scanner maps this data to the discrete I/O table if it is
available; otherwise, the data is mapped to block transfer locations.

More

Example Input
Mapping Scheme

See the 1771-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Installation Instructions (pub.
no. 1771-5.14) for details on using block transfer read and write
operations to communicate between your PLC-5 processor and
1771-SDN scanner.

This example’s input mapping scheme is a simplified and fixed map
of discrete input data and status bits for DeviceNet devices. It is
mapped to discrete inputs and the device input data table. An
example for each slot-addressing mode is given.

Example Characteristics
• strobe is used to query DeviceNet devices
• poll is disabled
• Devicenet A and B ports are connected to separate networks
• the input data bit is fixed and occupies the lowest-order bit in
the lowest-order byte of the strobe (bit #0)
• one bit of status data is accepted from each node responding to
the strobe
• the status data bit is fixed and occupies the next lowest-order bit
in the next lowest-order byte (after the input data bit) of the
strobe (i.e., bit #1)
• input and status data bits accepted from each node are mapped
to discrete inputs and the device input data table of the scanner
• input and status data bits accepted from each node are fixed and
predefined

This example adheres to the following structure:
• only one master scanner can own a device; there may, however,
be multiple masters on a network
• interface nodes (KFDs, PCDs, etc.) should be assigned node
numbers 62, 61, 60, etc.
• node number 63 should always be left available to add a new
default device
• address 0 is normally used for the scanner. Scanners in
multi-scanner networks are numbered 0, 1, 2, etc.
• the first word in the device input data table contains the module
command word (this is applicable under any mapping scheme)
• input data and status bits received from nodes 1-62 on channel
A are mapped to both the discrete inputs and the device input
data table
• no discrete inputs are used for channel B
• the device input data table is segmented
–one word for the module status word
–four words each for channel A and B devices’ input data bits
–four words each for channel A and B devices’ status data bits

Input Data Table Formats
The manner in which bits are mapped to the input data table depends
on the address density used. The following example is a 2-slot
configuration. Note that discrete mapping is not possible in 2-slot mode.
Bit numbering in the data table is right
to left, beginning with zero.

Note: 1 word = 2 bytes
1 byte = 8 bits
Each device’s status and data bits are mapped into
the device input data table. Data bits from devices
on channel A are mapped into the first four words
after the module status word in ascending,
numeric order according to the device’s node
address. For example, node #1 is mapped then
node #2, #3, #4, and so on.
Input data bits from channel B as well as status
bits from channels A and B are mapped into
similar four-word groups. These bits are also
ordered by node address in ascending numeric
order.

Data Map Example

Example Output
Mapping Scheme

This example’s output mapping scheme is a simplified and fixed map
of the discrete outputs and data from the device output data table to
DeviceNet devices.
Devices present in the default database are strobed only; therefore,
the output data map bits are mapped into each network’s strobe
message. If the discrete table is available, it serves as a source for the
strobe bits; otherwise, the source is found in block transfer locations.

Example Characteristics
• strobe is used to send output to the DeviceNet devices
• poll is disabled
• DeviceNet A and B ports are connected to separate networks
• one output data bit each is sent to nodes 1-62 on channel A
• the output data bits are embedded in the 8 byte (64 bit) data
portion of the DeviceNet strobe message
• the output bit string source within the strobe message is divided
across the discrete outputs (if any) assigned to the scanner and
the device output data table

Example Framework
Based on the backplane addressing mode and the scanner’s block
transfer support, the following number of discrete outputs are
supported:
Addressing Mode
2-slot
1-slot
1/2-slot

Discrete Outputs

This example adheres to the following structure:
• when a 1771-SDN scanner is running this configuration, there
cannot be any other 1771-SDN scanner on that network
• DeviceNet devices may reside only at nodes 1-62
• address 0 must be used for the scanner
• the first word in the device output data table contains the
module command word (this is applicable under any mapping
scheme)
• output bits intended for nodes 1-62 on channel A are mapped to
both the discrete outputs and the device output data table
• no discrete outputs are used for channel B

The following illustrates an output data mapping scheme example for
a scanner in 2-slot addressing mode.
Note: 1 word = 2 bytes
1 byte = 8 bits

Bit numbering in the data table is

Module Status

In 2-slot addressing mode, the output bits
for channel A and channel B devices are
written to the scanner’s output data table.
The bits are stored in ascending numeric
order, according to node address. The
mapping begins with channel A devices at
bit 16 of the table.
There are 64 possible node addresses per
network. Channel A devices fill the first
four words (after the module status word).
Channel B devices fill the last four words
of the table.

The scanner takes the output bits from its
output data table and organizes them into a
strobe message. The strobe message
contains one bit for each node address,
0-63. In default mode, the scanner is node
63; therefore, this bit is empty. The scanner
sends a separate strobe message to each
network, via channel A and channel B.

word 8

Each node’s output bit is mapped to a bit number in the
strobe message that directly corresponds to that
particular node’s MAC ID. For example, the output bit
for node #23 is mapped to strobe bit #23.

Bit numbering in the data table is
right to left, beginning with zero.

(for discrete output data bits)
In 1-slot addressing mode, eight bits of the
output data table are used for the output
image table. The image table is for
discrete output bits. In the default mode,
the processor writes the output bits of the
first eight nodes to the output image table
via DIO. The output bits from the remaining
nodes are written to the output data table.
