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 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.
