RSNetWorx Configuration for PLC-5C
Applications
This chapter provides information for using RSNetWorx for ControlNet
to configure a PLC-5C controller to communicate with the 20-COMM-C
ControlNet adapter. RSNetWorx for ControlNet is a 32-bit Windows
application for configuring ControlNet networks. After installing and
configuring the adapter, RSNetWorx is used to configure the controller
to recognize and communicate with the adapter.
Before configuring the controller, your PC must be:
•
Connected to ControlNet using a 1784-PCC, 1770-KFC, or similar
device.
•
Running RSNetWorx with RSLinx communications.
In this example, we will be configuring two PowerFlex 70 drive to be
Node 2 and Node 3 on a ControlNet network. This chapter describes the
steps to configure a simple network like what is featured in
Figure 4.1 .
