Mapping Your Devices
This chapter introduces questions you should ask before configuring
your 1771-SDN Scanner. In addition, it presents an example DeviceNet
network and I/O data mapping scheme for a photoeye and a
RediSTATION operator interface module. The following table
identifies what this chapter covers and where to find specific
information.
What You Need to Know
