ControlNet Scanner Card 23
Publication 1784-5.35 – April 1999
Connecting Another Device to ControlNet
Through the Network Access Port
By using the card’s RJ-45 connector (known as the network access port or
NAP), you can connect another device, e.g., programming interface such as a
1784-PCC card, to a ControlNet network, without a tap, through a
programmable controller, I/O adapter, or another KTCS card.
The 1786-CP cable (Figure 4) connects a host computer, such as one with a
1784-KTCS card, to another ControlNet device (Figure 5). The 1786-CP cable
has two RJ-45 8-pin connectors.

ATTENTION: Use the 1786-CP cable when connecting a
programming terminal to the network through the network access port
(NAP); using another cable could result in possible network failures or
product damage.
We designed the network access port as only a temporary connection.
For permanent connections, a ControlNet tap, e.g., 1786-TYPR,
-TYPS, should be used.
