Configuring a Controller to Communicate with the 1203-CN1 Module

5. Select your ControlNet network and click OK. A graphical

representation of your network appears.

Figure 4.4
Example Network Displayed in RSNetWorx

Important: Note the following about our example:

In Figure 4.4, Node 1 is the controller (PLC-5), Node 4 is the
SCANport product to which the 1203-CN1 module is
connected, and Node 20 is the PC we are using to configure
the network.

The 1203-CN1 module is transparent on the ControlNet
network, so an icon for the SCANport product connected to it
is displayed in RSNetWorx. In our example, we used a 1305
drive and set the node address on the 1203-CN1 module to
Node 4.

Above the icons are plus flags that indicate the devices are
not configured for the network.
