RSNetWorx Configuration
for PLC-5C Applications
This chapter provides information for using RSNetWorx for
ControlNet to configure a PLC-5C controller to communicate with
the RECOMM-CNET ControlNet module.
RSNetWorx for ControlNet is a 32-bit Windows application for
configuring ControlNet networks. After installing and configuring the
module, RSNetWorx is used to configure the controller to recognize
and communicate with the module.
Before configuring the controller, your PC must be:
• Connected to the ControlNet network using a 1784-PCC,
1770-KFC, or similar device.
• Running RSNetWorx with RSLinx communications.
5.1 Configuring a ControlNet Network:
An Example
In this example, we will be configuring two SP600 drives to be
Node 2 and Node 3 on a ControlNet network. This chapter
describes the steps to configure a simple network as shown in
figure 5.1.
