174 Series B ControlNet Bridge Modules
The loss of communication happens on the first switchover after you
download the project to the redundant controller.
• You lose communication with the remote chassis and any
devices to which you were bridging via the chassis, such as the
remote I/O modules.
• During the communication loss, the I/O modules go to their
configured state for a communication fault.
• The communication loss is temporary. Communications restore
themselves.
To prevent this situation, use series D or series E ControlNet Bridge
modules.
