WARNING
This product contains a ControlNet daughtercard (CAM) that is not intended for
removal. Any attempt to remove this CAM or to operate the CAM release
mechanism may cause irreparable damage. If you insert or remove the CAM
while host power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
IMPORTANT
You must upgrade your linking device to RSLogix 5000 programming
software version 17 to program unscheduled Class 1 connections on the

RSLogix 5000 software version 16 without redundancy. If you are using
RSLogix 5000 software version 16 with redundancy, unscheduled Class 1
connections are not available on the ControlNet network.
