Configure the ControlNet Network

4. Verify that all of the nodes on the network have the same keeper signature.

Save the Project for Each Primary Controller

After you have scheduled your ControlNet networks, go online with each

controller in your primary chassis and save the project. This makes downloading a

project easier in the future because you won’t be required to reschedule the

network after completing the download.

Automatic Keeper Crossloads

The 1756-CN2/B, 1756-CN2R/B, and 1756-CN2RXT ControlNet modules

have an Automatic Keeper Crossload feature that makes replacing a ControlNet

module in a redundant chassis easier. The Automatic Keeper Crossload feature

also reduces the need to use RSNetWorx for ControlNet software once the

system is running.

With the Automatic Keeper Crossload feature, ControlNet modules can

automatically upload the keeper signature and network parameters from the

active keeper of a ControlNet network.

Keeper signatures are all

the same.

TIP

If the keeper signatures of partnered ControlNet modules are different, your

redundant chassis may not synchronize.
If the keeper signatures of your partnered ControlNet modules are different,
update the keepers of the redundant ControlNet modules.
