2 EtherNet/IP bridge in 1756 system 4 ControlNet network
The following tables list the possible bridges between communication networks.
Note that you can bridge from a ControlNet network to an Ethernet network
and from an Ethernet network to a ControlNet via a SoftLogix virtual chassis.
However, the products and methods you must use to do so are more detailed than
can be effectively described in the following tables. For more information on how
to bridge from one network to another via a SoftLogix virtual chassis, see the
SoftLogix5800 System User Manual, publication 1789-UM002 .
Table 2 - Bridges from a ControlNet Network
(1) Can serve as a dedicated standalone bridge from a ControlNet network to a DeviceNet network.
