Chapter 2

Design an Enhanced Redundancy System

Other Communication

Networks

You can use only EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networks, and corresponding

modules, in enhanced redundancy systems.

You can bridge to other communication networks outside of the redundant

chassis. For example, you can bridge to a Universal Remote I/O network via a

remote chassis.

Figure 9 - Example of Bridging to Remote I/O on Various Networks

IMPORTANT

Do not use the redundant chassis to bridge between networks. Bridging

through the redundant chassis to the same or different networks, or routing
messages through redundant chassis is not supported.
