Rockwell Automation 5730 DriveLogix5730 Controller for PowerFlex 700S Drives with Phase II Control - Manual (Page 162)

7-22 Communicating with Devices on a ControlNet Link
Each produced tags requires one connection for the producing controller
and an additional connection for each consuming controller. Each
consumed tag requires one connection.
Example 2: Total connections required by DriveLogix1
The following table calculates the connections used in this example.
If you configured the local I/O modules as rack-optimized, you would only
need the DIN-rail connection to the I/O modules, reducing the above
example by 3 connections.
Example 3: DriveLogix
Controller to Other Devices In the following example, one DriveLogix controller communicates with a
Logix5550 controller and a ControlNet PLC-5 controller over ControlNet.
Connection: Amount:
DriveLogix1 controller to 3 local I/O modules
rack-optimized connection for the DIN rail
direct connection for each I/O module
