Configure Your Adapter and Digital Modules
on a ControlNet Network
Introduction
This chapter guides you through the steps that are required to configure your
FLEX I/O ControlNet adapter and associated modules on a ControlNet
network using RSNetworx for ControlNet and RSLogix 5000 software.
This chapter describes how a controller controls distributed I/O over
ControlNet. The controller requires a communication module to connect to the
network. Distributed I/O modules require an adapter to connect to the network.
In this example, we show you how to control FLEX I/O over ControlNet using
RSNetworx for ControlNet and RSLogix 5000.
To control distributed I/O over ControlNet, you must:
• Add local and remote ControlNet communication modules to your
RSLogix 5000 project.
• Add distributed I/O to your RSLogix 5000 project.
• Schedule the ControlNet network via RSNetWorx for ControlNet.
• Use the I/O information in RSLogix 5000
You can also validate connections to distributed I/O when controlling it over
ControlNet. This task is useful when one or more of the connections are not
working but is not required, especially when all connections appear to work
normally.
