When you use the RJ-45 connector you can connect the card to a
ControlNet network, without a tap, through the Network Access Port (or
NAP) of a programmable controller, I/O adapter, or other ControlNet
compliant devices (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

programming capability on the ControlNet network. When you connect a programming
terminal through this cable, it is counted as a node and must have a unique address.

AT TENTION: If you connect the product to a cable system that
does not support redundant media, connect the tap dropline to the
!
BNC connector labeled channel A. Channel B is left open.
If the cable system is redundant, connect the product so that all
devices on the network use the same cable for the same channel.
That is, all channel A connectors connect to one cable; all channel
B connectors connect to the other.

12 ControlNet PCI Communication Interface Card
Interpret the Status Indicators on the 9904-PCIC
The status indicators on the card give you information about the card and
the network when you’re connected via the BNC connectors. Table B
outlines the states and explains what each state means to you and the
action you should take, if any, to correct that state.
ControlNet status interpretation
• steady - indicator is on continuously in the defined state.
alternating - the two indicators alternate between the two defined states at
•
the same time (applies to both indicators viewed together). The two
indicators are always in opposite states, out of phase.
flashing - the indicator alternates between the two defined states (applies
•
to each indicator viewed independent of the other). If both indicators flash,
they must flash together, in phase.
Important:When you connect the module to a Control Net network using
the network access port (NAP) only, the LEDs are
meaningless.

CSA Hazardous Location Approval
CSA certifies pr oducts for genera l us e a s well as fo r the use in hazardo us loc ati o ns. Actual CSA
certification is indicated by the product label as shown below, and not by statements in any
user documentation.
Example of the CSA certification product label
To comply with CSA certification for use in hazardous locations, the following information
becomes a part of the product literature for this CSA-certified industrial control product.
• This equipment is sui tab le for us e in Cl ass 1, Division 2, Gro ups A, B, C, D, or non-ha zard ous
locations only.
• The products having the appropriate CSA markings (that is, Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, D), are certified for use in other equipment where the suitability of combination (that is,
application or use) is determined by the CSA or the local inspection office having jurisdiction.
Important: Due to the modular nature of a programmable control system, the product with the
highest temperature rating determines the overall temperature code rating of a programmable
control system in a Class1, Division 2 location. The temperature code rating is marked on the
product label as shown.
