ControlNet Communication Interface Card

Publication 1784-5.33 – September 1997

Important:

If you are using a non-redundant cabling system, all ControlNet
devices must be on the same channel, channel A.

Connecting to a Device on the ControlNet Network

By using the card’s RJ-45 connector (known as the network access port or
NAP), you can connect the card to a ControlNet network, without a tap, through
a programmable controller, I/O adapter, or another KTCX15 card (Figure 5 and
Figure 6).

The 1786-CP cable (Figure 4) connects a portable host computer to another
computer; it has two RJ-45 8-pin connectors.

ATTENTION: Use the 1786-CP cable when connecting a
programming terminal to the network through the network access port
(NAP); using another cable could result in possible network failures or
product damage.
