PLC-5C to PLC-5C Unscheduled Messaging
Over Two ControlNet Networks
About the Example Application
In this example you establish communications between two PLC-5C
processors on different ControlNet networks. Two 1756-CNB modules in
the same ControlLogix chassis are used to bridge the networks. The
1756-CNB modules are in slots 1 and 3 and are configured as nodes 1 and 6,
respectively. The application sends an unscheduled PLC-5C Typed Write
message from the PLC-5C processor on ControlNet network #1 (node 11)
to the PLC-5C processor on ControlNet network #2 (node 16).
Set Up the Example
Application
Change your system configuration to that shown below:
• Verify that the node addresses for the 1756-CNB modules are 1 and 6 as
shown.
• Verify that the ControlNet node addresses for the PLC-5C processors are
11 and 16 as shown.
