Rockwell Automation 1757-SWKIT400 Getting Started with ProcessLogix R400.0 Quick Start - Manual (Page 4)

4 Getting Started with ProcessLogix R400.0
Publication 1757-QS040A-EN-P - October 2001
Starting the Software
In this section, we explain how to start:
•
The ProcessLogix R400.0 Server software
•
Control Builder software
Verifying ControlNet nodes and I/O modules
The CDA program starts up RSLinx and all configured drivers for ControlNet
communications from the server to the controller backplane.
You should verify the ControlNet nodes and the I/O modules you will use in your
system. For purposes of illustration, we use two ControlNet nodes:
•
ControlNet module with address 1 at slot 0 in the chassis
To set the node address, adjust the rotary switches on top of the module.
See the schematic on the right side of the module for a guide to selecting the
address
•
ProcessLogix Server at ControlNet address 24 (set in RSLinx Software)
TIP
The System Repository is the database that contains
information about your control environment. The CDA
program controls communications between ProcessLogix
server applications and RSLinx

communication software. The
System Repository and the CDA program are both Windows
2000 Services that start automatically.
TIP
If the LED on the front of the ControlNet module reads NET
ERR, no other ControlNet devices are present on the network.
