• Description of how the 1203-CN1 module works.

• Overview of ControlNet.

• Overview of SCANport products.

• Parts of the 1203-CN1 module.

• Overview of setting up the module.

ControlNet

A SCANport cable connects the module to a SCANport product through a SCANport interface port on the SCANport product. One or two ControlNet cable taps connect the module to the ControlNet bus, depending on whether you are using non-redundant or redundant connections.

Publication 1203-5.13 – February, 2002

1-2 Overview

The module translates the ControlNet messages into SCANport messages that can be understood by the SCANport product. Both scheduled I/O data and unscheduled messages can be transferred through the module. ControlNet capability enhances the functionality and usefulness of the connected product and lets you communicate with the SCANport product from any node on the ControlNet network.

What Is ControlNet?

ControlNet is a real-time, control-layer network providing high-speed transport of both scheduled time-critical I/O data and unscheduled messaging data, including upload/download of programming and configuration data and peer-to-peer messaging, on a single physical media link. Deterministic and repeatable, ControlNet’s high-speed (5 Mbps) control and data capabilities significantly enhance the size and speed of I/O data and messaging data transfers.

Specifically, ControlNet provides:

• Bandwidth for I/O, real-time interlocking, peer-to-peer messaging and programming—all on the same link, without impacting time-critical I/O.

• Deterministic, repeatable performance for both discrete and process applications.

• Multicast of both inputs and peer-to-peer data.

• Fiber media, media redundancy and intrinsically safe options.

• Simple and flexible installation requiring no special tools to install or tune the network.

• Network access for any node.

Publication 1203-5.13 – February, 2002

• Support for up to 99 nodes per subnet to help flatten architectures and support more distributed systems.

• User-configured real-time remote analog updates for more flexibility and process capabilities.

Installing Your 1203-CN1 Module

The following instructions explain how to physically install your 1203-CN1 module.

Important: To guard against device malfunction, you must wear a grounding wrist strap when installing the 1203-CN1 module.

1. Set the module’s ControlNet node address by clicking the + or button to the desired value for each digit.

Important: Each node on the ControlNet network must have a unique address.

Important: The node address must be set before power is applied because the module uses the node address it detects when it first receives power. To change a node address, you must set the new value and then remove and reapply power to or reset the module.

Figure 2.1 Setting the Module’s Node Address

Publication 1203-5.13 – February, 2002

ATTENTION: When setting the node address, use a blunt, pointed instrument. Do not use a pencil or pen

2. Ensure the DIN rail to which the module will be attached is

connected to an earth ground.

Important: If EMC compliance is required, the DIN rail should be properly grounded inside a full metal enclosure. The enclosure should also be properly connected to an earth ground.

because lead (graphite) or ink may damage the switch assembly.

3. Hook the top lip of the module’s DIN rail mount onto the top of the DIN rail and then rotate the module onto the DIN rail. You will hear the module snap into a locked position.

Figure 2.2 Connecting the Module to the DIN Rail

4. Verify the module is correctly grounded to the DIN rail by using an Ohm meter to measure between:

• DIN rail’s earth ground.

• Metal shell in the module’s RS-232 serial port.

If the reading is greater than 2 Ohms, you must reconnect the module to the DIN rail, making sure it attaches securely.

2-6 Installation

5. Connect the SCANport cable to the SCANport product and the module.

To connect the cable to the module, align the pins on the cable with the holes in the SCANport connection and then insert the SCANport cable. The cable will click into a locked position.

Figure 2.4 Connecting the SCANport Cable to the Module

6. Connect the ControlNet cable tap(s) to the ControlNet media and the module.

To connect the cable tap(s) to the module, twist each onto the ControlNet Coax connection(s). You will hear the tap(s) click into a locked position.

Important: Make sure you connect the Channel A cable to the Channel A connection and the Channel B cable to the Channel B connection.

7. Connect a +24V power supply. If necessary, loosen the screw to insert the power supply connection and then re-tighten the screw.

Important: You can use the two sets of holes to daisy chain the power supply between multiple 1203-CN1 modules placed close together.

The module is now physically installed. Its SCANport and ControlNet LEDs are solid green, and its Module LED is flashing green. (If your module’s LEDs differ, refer to Chapter 7, Troubleshooting, for troubleshooting information.)

The flashing green Module LED means that the module is not yet able to provide an interface between the ControlNet network and the SCANport product. For it to do so, you must:

1. Configure, if necessary, the module by editing its parameters. Refer to Chapter 3, Getting Started.

2. Configure the controller on the ControlNet network to recognize and communicate with the module. Refer to Chapter 4,

Configuring a Controller to Communicate with the 1203-CN1 Module.

3. If desired, write a PLC Ladder Logic program to control the SCANport product. Refer to Chapter 5, PLC Ladder Logic Programming.

Important: The 1203-CN1 ControlNet communications module will not communicate over ControlNet without being connected to a SCANport product which is powered and operational.

Removing the 1203-CN1 Module

If you want to remove the 1203-CN1 module, you need to:

Important: To guard against device malfunction, you must wear a grounding wrist strap when removing the 1203-CN1 module.

1. Turn off the power supply to the module.

2. Disconnect all cables and the power supply from the module.

Important: To disconnect the SCANport cable, gently push in the

cable and then pull it out.

3. With a screw driver in the tab release, gently push its handle towards the module to release the connection tab, and then pull the module off of the DIN Rail.

Factory-Default Settings for the 1203-CN1 Module’s Parameters

Chapter 3 provides information that you need to configure the 1203-CN1 ControlNet Communications module. This includes:

• Information on the 1203-CN1 module’s default setting.

• Equipment needed to make a serial connection to the module.

• Instructions on how to connect a PC running terminal emulation software or a VT100-compatible terminal to the module.

• Navigation techniques to use in the module’s software.

• Instructions for editing the module’s parameters.

• Instructions for displaying and clearing the module’s event queue.

• Instructions for displaying the modules I/O data.

• Instructions for displaying DF1 Protocol statistics.

• Instructions for viewing the module’s serial number.

• Instructions for performing a flash upgrade to the module.

The factory-default settings of the 1203-CN1 module enable the following functions:

• 16-bit Logic Command/Status.

• 16-bit Reference/Feedback.

• If the PLC is put into program mode or the network fails, the SCANport product will be faulted by the module.

• All datalinks are disabled.

• Baud rate is 9600.

If you wish to change any of these functions (e.g., Fault Configurable inputs) or add more functions (e.g., datalinks), you must edit the module’s parameters. To do so, refer to:

• Appendix B, 1203-CN1 Module Parameters, for detailed information about each of the module’s parameters.

• Instructions in this chapter on establishing a serial connection.

• Instructions in this chapter on how to edit the parameters.
