DeviceNET Master Simulator

5 posts in this topic

Has anyone ever found a DeviceNET Master simulator they like or have used? I have a need to test several DeviceNET slaves. I would also like to toggle some of the I/O using the simulator in the DeviceNET slave. I see a couple online, but I am wondering if anyone has tried any of these.

Would be super handy if I could also test CC-LINK and PROFIBUS with the same type of kit or same brand of master simulator.

Looks like Anybus has one for DNet Master.  Not that I have ever used it, but Anybus tends to be very solid with all of the various products and interfaces I've ever purchased from them.

Also looks like they have one for Profibus.  Hard to tell if it's the same platform as DNet, but probably a different adapter.  Not sure about CC-Link

I saw that one and two more, but I was wondering if anyone had tried these products and what they thought about them. I am getting a quote on the Anybus one.

Chris look at Real Time Automation the have some nice hardware based systems. The 460 can be used as a Dnet master. Not a simulator but cost effective.
