Hardware Components

The 1771-ACN and -ACNR Adapters features include:
high speed data transfer
diagnostic messages
local communication network access through the network access
port (NAP)
redundant media (1771-ACNR only)
The adapter module consists of the following major components:
ControlNet status indicators
status display
communication reset pushbutton
network access port (NAP)
ControlNet connectors (one on 1771-ACN; two on 1771-ACNR)
module net address switch assemblies (on top of module)

Diagnostic Indicators
The OK indicator is located on the front panel of the adapter module (Figure 1.1). It shows both normal operation and error conditions in your remote I/O system.
Publication
In addition, an alphanumeric display (net address/status) provides status code indications when an error occurs during initialization or operation.
A complete description of the diagnostic indicators and status display and how to use them for troubleshooting is explained in chapter 5.
Communication Reset Pushbutton
This pushbutton is active whenever the status display shows RSET or PRL. PRL is active only when the I/O chassis backplane switch is in the PRL position. If the above conditions are met, you can use the reset pushbutton (Figure 1.1) to reset the adapter module and resume communication after a communication error occurs.

Network Access Port (NAP)
The network access port (Figure 1.1) provides a bidirectional electrical interface for programming, maintenance, and I/O monitoring devices in both redundant and non-redundant connections. Connecting programming terminals to the network using the NAP is described in Chapter 2.
ControlNet Connectors
Cable connection to the module is through standard BNC connectors on the module frontplate.

Determining Power Requirements

Determining the Module Location and Keying the I/O Chassis

The ControlNet adapter module requires a backplane current of 1.0A at 5V dc. Remember to add this amount to other current requirements for your I/O chassis.
The ControlNet adapter module must be installed in the leftmost slot of the I/O chassis.
The I/O chassis backplane connectors are keyed to accept only one type of module. This prevents accidental insertion of other modules in the wrong module slot.
Position the keying bands (Figure 2.1) in the backplane connectors to correspond to the key slots on the module. This prevents you from inserting the wrong module in this slot. For the ControlNet adapter module, position the keying bands:
between 54 and 56 on the upper connector, and
between 16 and 18 on the lower connector
ATTENTION: Observe the following precautions when inserting or removing keys:
!
insert or remove keys with your fingers
make sure that key placement is correct
Incorrect keying or the use of a tool can result in damage to the backplane connector and possible system faults.
Publication
1771-6.5.123 – May 1996
Installing Your ControlNet Adapter Module
You can change the position of these bands if subsequent system design and rewiring makes insertion of a different type of module necessary.

Setting the Network Address Switches

The switches on the top of the adapter module determine the network address of the adapter. The two switches are:
the ten’

The combination of these switches allows selection of network addresses from 01 to 99.
Use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the switches.
