OPERATION
6.1.
CONTROLNET TARGET
A Logix controller can own the ControlNet Router over ControlNet using a scheduled
ControlNet connection when the ControlNet Router is operating as a ControlNet target. This
will allow the ControlNet Router to exchange data with the Logix controller using the input
and output assembly of the scheduled ControlNet connection.
6.1.1.
S
CHEDULED
When the module uses Scheduled ControlNet the Logix controller will establish a cyclic
scheduled communication connection with the ControlNet Router. An input and output
assembly is exchanged at a fix interval (RPI). The UDTs provided will convert the input and
output arrays into tag-based assemblies. Refer to the additional information section in this
document for the input and output UDTs.
