Communicating with the SK-1000 Series
- DeviceNet Compatible Network Unit DL-DN1 User’s Manual (SK-1000) -
The master unit of the DeviceNet system can use the following functions:
* When using these functions in explicit messaging, use the command parameters
for the functions assigned to external inputs. For details, see "Command
parameter list for SK-1000 series" (page 3-28)
I/O Communication
• The output signal, comparator value, and error status of sensor amplifiers can be
communicated without the need of a ladder program.
• By using the IN and OUT areas as handshake signals, the master unit can execute
external inputs to the sensor amplifier or change setting values.
"I/O Communication" (page 3-4)
Explicit Messaging
The master unit can use explicit messaging commands to directly read/write
parameter values of sensor amplifiers. All functions that can be executed on sensor
amplifiers are available through explicit messaging.
