ControlNet Connection
You can connect programming devices to a ControlNet network
through:
• the ControlNet network access cable (1786-CP)
• the ControlNet 1784-PCC1 cable
• a tap on a ControlNet network
Important: Use the 1786-CP cable when connecting a programming
terminal to the network through a NAP. Using a commercially
available RJ-style cable could result in network failure
.
ATTENTION: Do not connect the same
communication card to both the NAP and
a tap on the ControlNet network.
