The FLEX I/O ControlNet adapters (cat. no. 1794–ACN15 and
–ACNR15) interfaces up to 8 FLEX I/O modules and a ControlNet
processor or scanner. The adapter can support ControlNet real–time
data connections to individual modules or module groups. Each
connection is independent of the others and can be from different
processors or scanners.
One 1794-ACN15 and -ACNR15 ControlNet adapter can interface
up to eight terminal base units with installed FLEX I/O modules,
forming a FLEX I/O system of up to eight slots. The adapter
communicates to other network system components (typically one or
more controllers or scanners, and/or programming terminals) over
the ControlNet network. The adapter communicates with its I/O
modules over the backplane.
