Hi
I am pretty conversant with plc programming but have not had anything to do with devicenet as yet, only RIO, DH+ and DH485 on the AB Networks
I am looking at a project with and ABB Drive fitted with a devicenet card and a 5/04 plc running a SDN scanner to communicate with the ABB drive.
I need all equivanlent dig and analogue io from the drive in a read an write basis, i.e. to be able to read faults, read motor current and speed etc, also need to be able to give the drive a setpoint from the plc..........
So how easy is all this as i have been looking on AB and ABB's sites for programming examples and how the units talk to each other but cannot find much of use ?
All help appreciated!
Cheers
