Chapter 3
Understanding the ControlNet
System Software
Using This Chapter This chapter describes the configuration and programming software
that you use with your ControlNet PLC-5 processor and specific
details about their maintenance. Although the software packages are
separate tools, they have specific interdependencies that must be met
in order to keep projects synchronized between one another.
Configuring and Programming
Your ControlNet System
Use the following software packages to configure and program your
ControlNet system.
Additionally, use:
RSNetWorx software to configure the individual scheduled
connections for the ControlNet PLC-5. RSNetWorx software
creates a project (.xc) file on your personal computer when you
save the project. RSNetWorx software writes to the Channel 2
configuration memory during an online save to the ControlNet
PLC-5.
RSLogix 5 software to configure and program all other
parameters within the ControlNet PLC-5. RSLogix 5 software
creates a project (.rsp) file on your personal computer when you
save the project.
These two software packages are separate tools because RSNetWorx
software is used to configure the entire ControlNet network and
RSLogix 5 software is used to configure node-specific information.
Use: To:
RSNetWorx for ControlNet
