Establishing an Ethernet
Connection

The Ethernet interface module supports 64 simultaneous connections
per module. A connection is a unique path to an end device, such as a
ControlNet PLC-5 processor on a ControlNet link attached via a
1756-CNB module. Each unique path uses a different connection.
There is an exception for a PLC-5 processor on a DH+ link attached
via a 1756-DHRIO module. Each 1756-DHRIO module uses only
one connection, regardless of how many devices are attached to it and
how many paths you define to those devices.

Multiple MSG instructions can use the same path to a device, but only
one connection is used because the path is the same.

Fault Code

Description

91

Sidecar module undefined message type.

92

Sidecar module requesting undefined pool.

93

Sidecar module illegal maximum pool size.

94

Sidecar module illegal ASCII message

95

Sidecar module reported fault, which may be the result of a bad
program that corrupts memory or of a hardware failure.

96

Sidecar module not physically connected to the PLC-5
processor.

99

Sidecar module-to-processor data transfer faulted

100

Processor-to-sidecar module transfer failed

101

Sidecar module end of scan transfer failed

102

The file number specified for raw data transfer through the
sidecar module is an illegal value

103

The element number specified for raw data transfer through the
sidecar module is an illegal value

104

The size of the transfer requested through the sidecar module is
an illegal size

105
