I/O bus networks allow PLCs to communicate with I/O devices in a manner similar to how local area networks let supervisory PLCs communicate with individual PLCs (see Figure1). This configuration decentralizes control in the PLC system, yielding larger and faster control systems. | I O Bus Networks including Device Net A Special Note To Our Customers Here s a valuable PLC reference that you can use right now. This particular reference is taken from our award-winning textbook Programmable Controllers Theory and Implementation 2nd Edition. In it you ll learn about I O bus networks the powerful network that lets controllers better communicate with their I O field devices. There s also lots of examples and tables to help explain the topics. Best yet we ve included the corresponding chapter from the companion workbook.
