Network Configuration

Configure the ControlNet network using RSLinx and RSNetWorx for ControlNet
software.

Using the parameters suggested in chapter 4 of this manual, configure scheduled
traffic with RSNetWorx, by doing a scanlist configuration of the 1747-SCNR module to
the drive. It is recommended that Input and Output files are used instead of M1 and
M0 files, as discrete I/O is more appropriate for critical data transfer. Make sure
keyswitch is in “program” position before download of configuration.

Input address should be [ I:x:y ] with x = slot of SCNR module and y = 1 or greater.
Output address should be [ O:x:y ] with x = slot of SCNR module and y = 1 or greater.

Input and Output size for Flexpak3000 and Webpak3000 drives = 8.

Important: Any address offset is limited by 31 words maximum minus the drive I/O

word size.
