16 Configure Unscheduled Communications
Configure Communications The procedure in this section shows how to configure a sample
ControlNet network using Unscheduled messaging between a
PanelView Plus/PanelView Plus CE terminal and a ControlLogix
processor. The ControlLogix processor is in Slot 0 and the
1756-CNBR/D ControlNet Scanner Module is in Slot 2 of the chassis.
1. Open RSView Studio and create a new project.
2. In the Application Explorer window, double-click on RSLinx
Enterprise to expand the tree. Then double-click on
Communication Setup.
3. Select the Target tab of the communication window. To set the
path for the target, you must add the devices and drivers
manually because the development computer is not connected
by ControlNet to the ControlLogix processor.
4. Right-click on 1789-A17, Backplane and select Add Device. This
is the virtual backplane of the PanelView Plus/PanelView Plus
CE.

ControlNet Scanner Card (or 2711P-RN15C) and click OK.
