The A-CNR ControlNet Router provides an efficient method of bridging between ControlNet and Ethernet networks. The module provides intelligent routing between EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP and a ControlNet network. The module can be configured as a ControlNet Target or an Originator. As a ControlNet target, a Logix controller can own the ControlNet router using a scheduled connection. As a ControlNet originator, the module can be configured to own ControlNet I/O or exchange data with up to 10 ControlNet devices.
The module can also be configured as a PCCC Client (allows the module to emulate a PLC5 or SLC5 providing legacy interface to PanelViews), EtherNet/IP target or originator, and as Modbus TCP/IP client or server.
As an EtherNet/IP target, a Logix controller can own the router using a Class 1 connection. As an EtherNet/IP originator, the router supports class 1 connection or explicit messaging.
As a Modbus TCP/IP client, the router can map ControlNet data to Modbus registers for exchange with Modbus TCP/IP servers. As a Modbus TCP/IP server, the router can exchange the ControlNet data with Modbus TCP/IP clients.
The I/O data can be accessed via Ethernet using either the PCCC or EtherNet/IP™ or Modbus TCP/IP protocols. The support for PCCC protocol allows the module to emulate user-defined PLC5-type data files data simplifying the migration to Ethernet-only PanelViews. The module also provides a range of statistics on Ethernet and ControlNet to assist with fault finding.
A built-in webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration and operation, including the display of ControlNet operation and communication statistics, without the need for any additional software.
The Slate Configuration Utility software is used for configuration and troubleshooting of the module. The stand-alone configuration utility allows users to define the setup and configuration of the ControlNet router, connections with controllers and devices.
The configuration utility can be downloaded from the "Downloads" section.
