Overview
DeviceNet is a serial communication system that makes it easy to interconnect control devices such as PLCs, computers, sensors, and actuators. DeviceNet sharply cuts cost in wiring and allows connection of DeviceNet-compliant devices of various manufacturers, enabling cost-efficient and convenient system configuration.
DeviceNet Slave Board
If the robot controller has a built-in DeviceNet Slave board and connects with master unit through DeviceNet cables, it can configure a DeviceNet system. In this system, the robot controller acts as a DeviceNet-compliant slave unit.

Operating Environment
To use a DeviceNet Slave board, you need to prepare an expansion board (DeviceNet Slave board) and a function expansion license certificate. For details, see "Options for Robot Controller "or "Optional Function and License ".
