nect/Connect Switch for that slave (words n+6 to n+9). This can be done when a slave is replaced or to register a slave in the scan list in prepara- tions to connect it to the network at a later time. The Disconnect/Connect Switches, however, are cleared when the power supply is turned OFF, so the bit must be turned back ON from the ladder program after the power turns ON in order for it to remain effective.

Scan List

 

 

 

 

 

A scan list is used to register the slaves with which the Master Unit communi-

 

 

cates in DeviceNet remote I/O communications. It is the basis on which the

 

 

Master Unit communicates with slaves.

 

 

 

The Master Unit does not contain a scan list by default. The CS/CJ-series

 

 

DeviceNet Unit, however, has a default setting that allows it to communicate

 

 

with all slaves even with the scan list disabled, but this operating mode should

 

 

not be used for normal operation. Always create a scan list prior to operating

 

 

the Unit.

 

 

 

Scan List Contents

The contents of the scan list is listed in the following table. When a Master

 

 

Unit goes online, it compares each of these items with the slaves that are

 

 

actually connected to the network. The items that are compared, however, will

 

 

depend on the allocation method that is used.
