SCHEDULING THE CONTROLNET NETWORK
Once all the ControlNet scheduled connections have been added to the ControlNet Router IO
tree in Slate (when the module is operating as a ControlNet Originator), the ControlNet
network will need to be scheduled. The scheduling of the ControlNet network will allow for
each connection originator and connection target to exchange data at a predetermined time
in the Network Update Time (NUT).
The ControlNet Scheduler is opened by right-clicking on the module when online in Slate and
selecting
ControlNet Scheduler.
