Controlnet & Point I/O question

[dogleg43]

We have an existing ControlLogix with ControlNet talking to 3 remote panels, all containing Point I/O. We need to add a fourth panel with Point I/O to the system.

Question: Do we need to shut the PLC down to add the 4th node's configuration, etc. and to get it running?

PLC = ControlLogix 1756-L55 Ver. 15.5
ControlNet Module = 1756-CNB/E
ControlNet Adapter Module = 1734-ACNR/A


Thanks

Yes - ControlNet scheduling is done while in program mode.
