Appendix B. Vendor Information
Appendix B.1. Using RSNetWorx Version 1.06 with PLC-5 scanner
The Anybus ControlNet module is not supported for versions earlier than 1.06.
Ensure all nodes are physically connected and start RSNetworx.
Go online (check the Go online box) - all connected nodes should appear on the screen.
Right click on the PLC5 node and choose ControlNet configuration. The program now launches the Map Editing
Tool used to set up data mapping in the PLC-5 processor.
Right click on the line that contains the Anybus ControlNet module (in the current version of RSNetworx
displayed as Any-BusDT) and choose Insert device connection.
When the line changes to blue, the connection size in, connection size out and to which address in the PLC the
data shall be mapped should be entered. The data is mapped to the Integer area (N-area). For example, 50
bytes in each direction can be mapped so now 25 words in and 25 words out can be chosen.
Save the configuration, switch the PLC key to run and the data is transferred to/from the PLC data table at the
specified address.
Appendix B.2. Using RSLogix 5000 for network configuration
RSLogix is a programming and configuration tool from Rockwell automation. The information included in this
section is based on an entry in the Rockwell Automation Support Library and can be accessed at:

RSLogix 5000 Version 2.25 and higher versions have a generic profile called CONTROLNET-MODULE which is
applicable to devices that connect directly to ControlNet, such as the 1203-CN1 communications card with a
Rockwell drive or a Schneider Momentum I/O device. The Anybus ControlNet card also uses this profile. All
Anybus ControlNet-enabled I/O will use the same assembly instance numbers, but the data size will change
depending on the application and must be relayed to the end user. The ControlNet module does not use
configuration data so the length should be left at zero, though a non-zero number nust be entered for the
assembly instance. The following list provides information on the settings for the CONTROLNET-MODULE profile
with AnyBus-S enabled devices.
Name: (choose a unique name for this module)
