5.8.3. CONTROLNET
CONTROLNET ( 30924 ) is an open
ControlNetwork running in “real-time”, for high-
throughput applications.
– It uses a Control and Information Protocol
(CIP), combining the functionality of an I/O
Network and a Peer-to-Peer Network.
– CONTROLNET is based on the
Producer/Consumer Model , permiting all
nodes on the network to simultaneously
access the same data from a single source.
– Maximum of 99 nodes , with no minimum
distance between nodes
– The ControlNet card uses BNC connectors.
SPECIAL NOTES
For signal redundancy, both connectors should be used.
– If not, use either Connector A or B.
Network Status LED A and Module Status LED correspond to LED 1 and LED 2 in
the instance attributes of the Anybus Object.
– They are available in the application interface, but the LED placement on the
front does not conform to the standard Anybus CompactCom placement of
LED 1
and LED 2.
