4.6 Configuring the Conet/c Network Port (available on the M1241B T2C CPU only.)
The Conet/c Port selection switch is located on the left inside the front door of the CPU
(under the Conet DB9 connector). Use this switch to configure the Node address of the
CPU on the Conet network and the desired CONET baud-rate (Normal or Slow).
Communications Protocol
Conet Address switch setting
Conet (Normal mode):
Baud rate: 62,500 baud
Switches 1-7: Conet ID
(Set in binary
Switch 1 = LSB
Switch 7 = MSB)
Switch 8: Baud Rate
Switch 8 OFF = 62.5 kBaud
[Switch shown set to Address 2, Normal baud rate]
Conet (Slow mode):
Baud rate: 7,800 baud
Switches 1-7: Conet ID
Switch 8: Baud
Switch 8 ON = 7.8 kBaud
[Switch shown set to Address 2, Slow baud rate]
Table 4.2: Conet Port Address switch settings (M1241B T2C)
Each node on the Conet/c network should be allocated a unique address in sequence,
starting at 1.
Please refer to the Conet Installation Guide and Conet Protocol Datasheet for more
information on the CONET network.
4.7 Configuring the Conet/m Network Port (available on the M1243B T2M CPU only.)
The Conet/m Port selection switch is located on the left inside the front door of the CPU
(under the Conet/m DB15 connector). Use this switch to configure the Node address of the
CPU on the Conet/m network.
Each node on the Conet/m network should be allocated a unique address in sequence,
starting at 1.
This address is set in binary with Switch 1 = Least Significant Bit, and Switch 8 = Most
Significant bit. This allows an address range of 1 to 255.
4.8 Configuring the T2 CPU as a Network Router
Many systems are constructed of multiple networks to overcome the difficulties of topology
or communication protocol conversion. The Network Routing Service in this CPU provides a
means to seamlessly interconnect these networks into an integrated “intranet” so that any
node in the system may be globally addressed from any other with no regard for its physical
location.
The T2 CPU must be configured to act as a router in these systems, automatically routing
data packets seamlessly between nodes on different networks.
