Install the 1769-L3x Controllers Chapter 2

Connect a Programming Terminal to the Network via a 1786-CP Cable

You can use the CompactLogix controller’s network access port (NAP) to

connect a programming terminal to the ControlNet network. The figure shows

the 1786-CP cable connections.

Connect one end of the 1786-CP cable to the CompactLogix controller and the

other end to the NAP of the programming terminal.

WARNING: The NAP port is intended for temporary local-programming

purposes only and not intended for permanent connection. If you connect or

disconnect the NAP cable with power applied to this module or any device on

the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in

hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding

ATTENTION: Use the 1786-CP cable when you connect a programming

terminal to the network through the NAP.

Using another cable could result in possible network failures or product damage.

ATTENTION: Do not plug a DH-485 network cable or an RJ45 connector for the

EtherNet/IP network to the NAP. Undesirable behavior and/or damage to the

port may result.
