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.
NOTE:
The legacy device will need to use the PCCC IP Address as the target IP
address and
not
the module IP address.

UNSCHEDULED CONTROLNET
The ControlNet Router can also be used to communicate with a Logix controller over
ControlNet using unscheduled communication. This is done by browsing to the target Logix
controller in RSLinx Enterprise and selecting it as the target. The user will now have direct
access to all the Logix tags via the ControlNet Router (without the need for any PLC5
emulation). See the
FTView Configuration
section for more details regarding the
communication path setup.
