Each device Contains sends one data byte that contains one data bit and one status bit. These are given in response to a strobe message.

    Data Map Example Example Framework This example adheres to the following structure: • there cannot be any 1771-SDN scanners or other 1747-SDNs on that network • DeviceNet devices may reside only at nodes 1-62 • address 0 must be used for the scanner •...
  • Page 103 Data Map Example The status and data bits for each scanned device are mapped to the scanner’s DeviceNet Message discrete input data table. Data bits are mapped in the first four words while from Node #11 status bits are mapped in the next four words of the table. The bit numbering for device data bits begins with 0.

  • Page 104: Example Output Mapping Scheme

    Data Map Example Example Output Mapping 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 Scheme 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.
  • Page 105 Data Map Example The processor writes output data for each scanned device in the scanner’s discrete output data table. The scanner then maps each bit into a strobe 1747-SDN Output Strobe Message message that is sent to all scanned devices. The bit number, where a particular The strobe message contains one bit for device’s data is mapped, directly corresponds to that device’s MAC ID.
