Check the Network Keeper

States

After you schedule your ControlNet network, check the states of keeper-capable

nodes. Checking the status of keeper-capable nodes is important because if a

major network disruption occurs, the keepers provide network configuration

parameters required to recover.

For more information about keepers and their function in a ControlNet

network, see the ControlNet Modules in Logix5000 Control Systems User

Manual, publication
