Preface
What’s in This Chapter Use this manual to plan and install a ControlNet Ex media system.
This manual describes the required components of an intrinsically-safe
cable system and how to plan for and install these required
components.
This manual targets the configurion of a ControlNet Ex system.
However, since a ControlNet Ex system and a ControlNet system can
be linked, it may be necessary to introduce and refer to concepts on
the ControlNet side of the network.
Some configurations on a standard ControlNet system may not be
possible within a ControlNet Ex configuration. Many of the installation
methods and equipment for the ControlNet Ex system is the same as
those available for the ControlNet system. However, some differences
do exist. As you use this manual, note these differences.
The following tables describe where specific information is found in
