Preface 
This manual describes how you can use ControlNet communication modules 
with your Logix 5000â„¢ controller. 
Use this manual if you program applications that use a ControlNet network 
with one of these Logix 5000 controllers: 
•  CompactLogix controller 
•  ControlLogix controller 
•  PowerFlex 700S with DriveLogix controller 
•  SoftLogix5800 controller 
Also be familiar with the following: 
•  Networking concepts 
•  Logix Designer software 
•  FactoryTalk® Linx™ or RSLinx Classic software 
•  RSNetWorx for ControlNet software 
The Studio 5000 Automation Engineering & Design Environment® 
combines engineering and design elements into a common environment. The 
first element is the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application. The Logix 
Designer application is the rebranding of RSLogix 5000® software and will 
continue to be the product to program Logix 5000â„¢ controllers for discrete, 
process, batch, motion, safety, and drive-based solutions. 
 
The Studio 5000® environment is the foundation for the future of 
Rockwell Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. The Studio 
5000 environment is the one place for design engineers to develop all 
elements of their control system.
