Configuring a Controller to
Communicate with the 1203-CN1
Module For the controller on the ControlNet network to transmit control I/O
and/or messages to the 1203-CN1 module, you must configure it to
recognize and communicate with the 1203-CN1 module.
These instructions describe how to use RSNetWorx to configure a
new ControlNet network in online mode. The main steps in the
configuration are:
• Using online mode in RSNetWorx.
• Mapping the 1203-CN1 module to the network.
• Verifying the network properties.
Important: RSNetWorx 1.6 and RSLinx 2.0.82 were used for these
instructions. If you are using other versions, you may notice
differences between these instructions and your screens.
Using Online Mode in RSNetWorx
It is easiest to configure the ControlNet network online because you
can view a graphical representation of your network in RSNetWorx.
Follow these instructions:
1. Start RSNetWorx. The RSNetWorx screen appears.
