| | | DeviceLogix DeviceLogix is a Rockwell Automation technology that allows a DeviceNet node to be programmed to execute a sequence independently from the control for the main PLC/IPC. A DeviceLogix enabled DeviceNet node can be used in conjunction with a standard DeviceNet network, providing simple distributed control functionality. Additionally, it can also be used in a standalone application, without a network connection or PLC/IPC, to sequence industrial pneumatic valves and control I/O. Numatics has integrated this licensed technology into its DeviceNet compatible valve manifold series, which combine the functionality of a modular pneumatic valve system with integrated I/O. Programming of the DeviceLogix enabled node is done using the industry standard DeviceNet commissioning software tool RSNetworx for DeviceNet for Rockwell Automation. The programming software features an easily understandable graphics environment where the users can simply "drag and drop" logic function blocks (i.e. AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR, RS LATCHES, COUNTERS and TIMERS) onto a page and interconnect them to develop the required sequence, or ladder logic programming can be used to develop a sequence. The programmed sequence is downloaded to the node via the standard DeviceNet communication connection, thus multiple nodes can be programmed simultaneously on the same network. | | |
