Rockwell Automation 22-COMM-C ControlNet Adapter - Manual (Page 46)

4-12 Configuring the I/O
Example Network
After the adapter is configured, the connected drive and adapter will be a
single node on the network. This section provides the steps that are
needed to configure a simple network like the network in
Figure 4.16 . In
our example, we will configure a PLC-5/40C controller to communicate
with a drive using Logic Command/Status and Reference/Feedback over
the network.
Figure 4.16 Example ControlNet Network
Adding the Drive and Adapter I/O to the Controller
To establish an I/O configuration that can be used between the controller
and drive over a ControlNet network, you must first create an I/O image
for the PLC-5/40C controller’s built-in scanner.
1. Launch RSNetWorx for ControlNet. In the RSNetWorx for
ControlNet window, select File > New to display the New File
screen. Then select ControlNet Configuration as the network
configuration type, and click OK.
2. Select Network > Online to display the Browse for Network screen
( Figure 4.17 ).
