Show CNET Status 385
If CNET Status
Select If CNET to branch program depending upon the status of a
specified CNET condition. The If CNET selection constantly checks the
status of the CNET. Program flow branches to the true node (at the top of
the block) if the current CNET status matches the status you specified in
the block, and to the false node (at the bottom of the block) if not.
Show CNET Status
If you selected CNET in the Configure Control Options General page
dialog box, you can use the Show CNET Status block to check the
ControlNet interface and send the resulting status value, or the location
of the motion controller on the ControlNet network, to the operator
interface serial port.
The Show CNET Status block resides on the CNET Palette. To configure
the Show CNET Status block you must make an entry in the Show field.
You have two options:
• Status – to display the CNET status.
• MAC ID – to display the motion local controller’s address (Media
Access Control ID) on the ControlNet network.

When you select Status from the Show menu, the ControlNet status
appears as a value, as follows:
