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.
