the IO connections and schedule the ControlNet network.
ControlNet Explicit Messaging
This ControlNet Router can exchange data with up to 10 ControlNet devices using
explicit messaging over ControlNet.
Ethernet Mode
PCCC Client
This will allow the module to emulate a PLC5 or SLC, providing a legacy interface for
PanelViews and other devices over scheduled ControlNet
.
EtherNet/IP Target
A Logix controller can own the ControlNet Router over EtherNet/IP using a class 1
connection.
EtherNet/IP Originator
As an EtherNet/IP originator, the module can use two methods to read and write data
to and from EtherNet/IP IO:
EtherNet/IP Class 1 Connection
The ControlNet Router can own EtherNet/IP IO by using the Slate software to configure
the IO connections.
EtherNet/IP Explicit Messaging
The ControlNet Router can exchange data with up to 10 EtherNet/IP devices using
explicit messaging.
Modbus TCP Slave
A Modbus TCP Master can read and write data to the module which can then be
mapped to one or more ControlNet devices.
Modbus TCP Master
A module can read and write data from various Modbus TCP devices which can then
be mapped to one or more ControlNet devices.
PLC5 Emulation
IP Address
The IP Address used to emulate a PLC5 controller.
This IP address will be seen as the IP address of the PLC5 controller that the ControlNet
Router is emulating. Therefore, there will be two IP addresses on the network when in
PLC5 Emulation mode. One for the actual target module and one for the emulated
PLC5 controller.
NOTE:
These two IP addresses must
not
be the same.

CONTROLNET CONFIGURATION
The ControlNet configuration is shown in the figure below. The ControlNet configuration
window is opened by either double clicking on the module in the tree, or right-clicking the
module and selecting
