Introduction
This chapter describes the XM ControlNet Adapter (Catalog Number
1440-ACNR).
About the Module The 1440-ACNR module operates as a communication adapter for the
1440-DYN02-01RJ module. It provides an interface for controlling this
module on an XM Bus and transferring data to the processor over a
ControlNet network.
The ControlNet network is a communication architecture that enables the
exchange of messages between ControlNet products compliant with the
ControlNet International specification. It provides high-speed transport of
time-critical I/O and interlocking data and messaging data, including
upload/download of programming and configuration data on a single physical
media link.
The module supports:
• Control of I/O on the XM Bus, with up to 10 XM Dynamic
Measurement modules (Cat. No. 1440-DYN02-01RJ) connected to the
adapter.
• Unscheduled messaging data for configuration and retrieval of data.
• Local communication network access through the network access port
(NAP).
