Primers for DeviceNet/ControlNet?

[plchacker]

Hello all,

It has taken quite a while, (at least a year) but I am now recieving material for my labs. Part of that is a CLX PLC complete with a bridge for Ethernet, DH+, CtlNet, and DeviceNet. Some of the devices include Powerflex 40 drives, with the stated comm packages, PnlView 1500+. Is there a decent source for basic setup information? Both Devicenet and ControlNet are new to me. I have the ControlNet tool kit, and am familure with coax. Ethernet and DH+ are taken care of.

Thanks,

Go to www.ab.com and over there look for sample code library, they have a lot of good programming examples, also look for Dr. Devicenet, he has almost all the answers.
