Configure the Adapter

When you enable edits, RSNetWorx for ControlNet software reads data
in the ControlNet modules and builds a schedule for the network.

9. To change the network properties from the default settings to those that

best fit your network, choose Properties from the Network menu.

The Default dialog box opens.

10. Click the Network Parameter tab.

11. In the Network Update Time, select the smallest repetitive time cycle in

milliseconds at which data can be sent on a ControlNet link.

12. In Max Schedule Address, select the node with the highest network

address that can use scheduled time on a ControlNet Link. I/O data is
transferred during scheduled time. RSNetWorx for ControlNet software
sets this value.

13. In Max Unscheduled Address, select the node with the highest network

address that can use unscheduled time on a ControlNet link. Messaging
data is transferred during unscheduled time.

Nodes set at addresses higher than the maximum unscheduled node do
not communicate on the network.

14. In the Media Redundancy, select the appropriate option depending on

your configuration.

15. Click OK.

16. To save your network configuration, choose Save from the File menu.
