5.2.3. CONTROLNET ( 31979 )
CONTROLNET is an open control network
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, permitting 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 Control net 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.
