How to use Arduino board to control Robot Arm

My current understanding is:
I have to use DeviceNet network. To do that, I need DSQC 1006, which is already inside of my controller. In addition, I need somehow connect DSQC 652 to my Arduino board. Does anyone have any idea how? I know I need to purchase I/O power supply, but what else? I found one tutorial online, but we have different controller. Mine is IR5 compact. In the compact controller, it seems like I don't have to open up the controller for DSQC 653. It has some very easy to reach ports. 


Thank you guys for reading my questions and trying to help! I really appreciate your time.
