9.4.2 Creating a Scanlist
What is “scanlist”?
A scanlist is a parameter list that allows a DeviceNet master to identify slaves that are
under its control during communication. Network communications are not possible
without a scanlist.
The scanlist contains the following information:
- Slave I/O allocation information (which slaves have how many input points, and
which node addresses they occupy)
- The communication parameter information (remote I/O communications status,
communication cycle time setting)
When creating a scanlist with the robot controller, you may choose either of the fixed
I/O allocation mode (default) and free I/O allocation mode.
