Hello,
I have a small controller rack with CPU (L61 ControlLogix) Ethernet (EN2T) and ControlNet (CN2R) module. This system will eventually be redundant.
I have two large I/O racks each with a ControlNet card as well as a about 7 I/O modules per rack. All is connected properly via coax and tees. Node 1, 2 and 3 are all OK on the display of the card.
I successfully set up my CPU rack in Logix5000 but can't seem to add the remote I/O racks. Never tried this before. I am going to read through the ControlNet manual (200+ pages) tonight, but I figured I'd throw this out for someone who has been here before and maybe get a head start.
I thought I'd simply add the additional ControlNet cards under the primary (CPU rack) one, and/or just browse ControlNet right from Logix... but not that simple. I cannot find the 1756-CNBR/C in any list, I find Rev A, B, D and E... is this my problem?
I do have the 7-day grace of RSNetWorx for ControlNet, and have been able to configure my ControlNet easily (no more keeper issues). I am able to view the remote I/O from this application, as well as Linx Classic via USB into my primary ControlNet node (CPU Rack). Diagnostocs says everything is working well, only 1 minor recoverable fault on a DH+ card, I'll get to that later (I guess channel B isn't hooked up and that's why).
I appreciate any help and suggestions. Again, I can browse the entire network via RSLinx and also RSNetWorx for ControlNet... just not able to bring in the I/O into my Logix5000 I/O Configuration.
Thanks!
