Before You Begin
The ControlNet network is a high-speed link that lets PLC
processors and I/O devices (e.g., I/O racks, variable speed drives,
Human-Machine Interface (HMI), and other automation devices)
exchange data. The ControlNet PLC-5 processors have one logical
ControlNet port consisting of two BNC connectors and one network
access port; these processors let you connect to the ControlNet
network.

ATTENTION: Make sure you understand the anti-static environment.
The processor is shipped in a static-shielded container to guard against
electrostatic damage. Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits
or semiconductors in the processor module if you touch backplane connector
pins. It can also damage the module when you set configuration plugs or
switches inside the module. Avoid electrostatic damage by observing the
following precautions.
•
Remain in contact with an approved ground point while handling the
module (by wearing a properly grounded wrist strap).
•
Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins.
•
When not in use, keep the module in its static-shielded container.
