(3) Means of Inputting/Outputting Data
The DN211 supports "polling instruction/response" and "bit strobe instruction/response," both of
which are specified in the DeviceNet specification as the means of inputting/outputting data
to/from slave devices. The details of "polling instruction/response" and " bit strobe
instruction/response" are explained in "1.4 The Basic Functions."
(4) Examples of the System Configuration
This section describes a typical system configuration using the DN211, which is mounted on the
I/O slot of the T2/T2E/T2N. The DN211 allows the T2/T2E/T2N to exchange data with slave
devices on the DeviceNet.
In the following example, the DN211 is connected with slave devices, such as input/output devices,
sensor, and drive unit, which conforms with the DeviceNet specification. Moreover, a Toshiba's
original control LAN (TOSLINE-S20) is used to connect the T2/T2E/T2N with a higher-rank
controller.
A number of wiring combinations meeting the installation environment are available because the T
branch topology and the multi-drop topology are combinable when wiring a DeviceNet.
