1 CONTROLNET X30 DESCRIPTION
The FieldServer ControlNet X30 driver can be used to emulate a single slave station on a ControlNet network.
ControlNet scanners can open a connection of up to 450 Bytes in each direction to the FieldServer. Data transfers
are via Scheduled Communication and therefore the FieldServer has to be scheduled on the ControlNet network
using a Network Configuration Tool such as RSNetWorx or RSLogix. The minimum supported network update time
(NUT) is 5 ms. Connection to the ControlNet network is via two standard BNC connector ports. The connection
may be to either one or both of the ControlNet ports. A connection to both ports provides dual redundant
operation. A Network Access Port (NAP) is also provided for the temporary connection of a Network Configuration
Tool.
Max Nodes Supported
The FieldServer can only emulate one ControlNet Slave station
