Planning to Use Your ControlNet
PLCĆ5 Processor
2-13
To communicate between any ControlNet PLC-5 processors on the
ControlNet network, you can include explicit MSG instructions in
your ladder-logic program. See pages
There can be only one PLC-5/20C or -5/40C processor updating I/O
adapters on a ControlNet network.
the PLC-5/20C or -5/40C processor updating the I/O adapters must
be at network address 01—this is the “controlling” processor
only the controlling processor is allowed to send CIO instructions
additional PLC-5/20C or -5/40C processors can do scheduled transfers
to the PLC-5/20C or -5/40C processor at node 01 by using peer-to-peer
communications through the map table, but they cannot directly
communicate with or control the ControlNet remote I/O
In addition to your controlling processor, you can attach the following
ControlNet devices to your network:
