CONTROLNET (

31979

)

CONTROLNET

is an open control network

running in “real-time”, for high-throughput
applications.

– It uses a Control and Information Protocol

(CIP), combining the functionality of an I/O
Network and a Peer-to-Peer Network.

CONTROLNET

is based on the

Producer/Consumer Model, permitting all
nodes on the network to simultaneously
access the same data from a single source.

– Maximum of 99 nodes, with no minimum

distance between nodes

– The Control net card uses BNC connectors.

SPECIAL NOTES

For signal redundancy, both connectors should be used.

– If not, use either Connector A or B.

Network Status LED A and Module Status LED correspond to LED 1 and LED 2 in
the instance attributes of the Anybus Object.

– They are available in the application interface, but the LED placement on the

front does not conform to the standard Anybus CompactCom placement of
LED 1 and LED 2.
