The router 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 router to emulate
user-defined PLC5-type data files data simplifying the migration to Ethernet-only
PanelViews. The router 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.
