Multihop Messaging Via the MSG Instruction
You can use the MSG instruction to communicate from a processor
on one ControlNet link to a processor on another ControlNet link via
ControlBus using 1756-CNB ControlNet bridge modules.
You can also configure a ControlNet ladder MSG instruction to:
• a Data Highway Plus device by bridging across the 1756-CNB(R)
and 1756-DHRIO modules
• an Ethernet device by bridging across the 1756-CNB(R) and
1756-ENET modules
Refer to your programming software documentation for information
about configuring multihop messages.
