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.

Installing Your ControlNet Adapter Module 2–2
For specific information required by EN 61131-2, see the appropriate
sections in this publication, as well as the following Allen-Bradley
publications:

Noise Immunity, publication 1770-4.1
• Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries, publication AG-5.4
• Automation Systems Catalog, publication B111
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.
