I have an application that requires three 1756-CNBR modules in my processor rack (1756-L63). They communicate with 13 remote I/O racks each having one CNBR. I need three to increase my bandwidth and I can't use a CN2R due to issues with mixing EWEB and RM modules (I'm using firmware 16.56 for redundancy). For the time being I only have my primary rack powered up with the RM module removed while I establish my ControlNet network.
Two questions:
1. Is it normal for RSNetWorx to show three processor racks each with one connection to the ControlNet network rather than one rack with three connections? When I re-configure it offline to show all three connections in one rack I have comms issues.
2. Is it absolutely necessary to specify a .xc file for the CNBR modules in RSLogix5000? Everything seems to work fine with no file specified for any of my CNBR modules.
Appreciate any feedback.
