DeviceNet Master Library (DML)

Software Package for the Development
of devicenet Master and I/O Scanner Devices

Function overview
The devicenet Master Library is a software package offered by IXXAT as a Value Added Design Partner (VADP) of Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation.

The software facilitates the development of devicenet Master and I/O Scanner devices used in industrial controls for devicenet. The configuration of the scanner with RSNetWorx for devicenet is supported.

The modular structure of the protocol software allows an optimum implementation into the target system. A separate module contains all CAN interface functions in order to access the CAN controller, thus providing the user easy adaptation to CAN controllers that are currently not supported by the software.

The devicenet Master Library is delivered as source code. The documentation allows a quick start using the software.
