Features and Components of the ControlNet Repeater Adapter
A 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter can be used with the following modules to
build a ControlNet network repeater:
• 1786-RPCD repeater dual copper module
• 1786-RPFS repeater short-distance fiber module
• 1786-RPFM repeater medium-distance fiber module
• 1786-RPFRL fiber ring repeater module
• 1786-RPFRXL fiber ring repeater module
ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge,
which can cause internal damage and affect normal operation.
Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not
in use.
TIP
If the 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter is used with the 1786-RPCD,
1786-RPFS, and 1786-RPFM repeater modules, you can attach as
many as four repeaters to the repeater adapter.
If the 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter is used with the 1786-RPFRL
and 1786-RPFRXL repeater modules, you can attach as many as
two repeaters to the repeater adapter.
