Preface
This manual describes how you can use ControlNet communication modules
with your Logix 5000™ 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 5000™ 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.
