TM System Overview Introduction to ControlNet Rockwell Automation ControlNet System Overview The ControlNet Network was Designed to Meet Your Needs ControlNet: Most Efficient Performance ControlNet is a state-of-the-art open network providing a number ControlNet is based on an innovative solution in open network of features. ControlNet provides bandwidth for I/O, real-time technology–the producer/consumer model. The producer/consumer interlocking, peer-to-peer messaging and programming all on the model permits all nodes on the network to simultaneously access same link. It’s deterministic nature helps assure when data is the same data from a single source. Ultimately, the model provides sent. It’s repeatable performance efficiency because data is produced only once regardless of the does not change that time when number of consumers, and precise synchronization because data devices are arrives at each node at the same time. added to or deleted from ❝The ControlNet architecture The future demands advanced network the network. allows field information to be technology, greater system performance, updated ... without processor and higher productivity.

The ControlNet NetLinx brings you advanced communication features, flexibility, technology was originally developed by and performance when you need them, today. Rockwell Automation in 1995 because Rockwell Automation strives to be ahead of the current technology trends. Now the technology is managed by ControlNet International™. The network specifica- tions and protocol are open, meaning vendors are not required to purchase hardware, software, or licensing rights to connect devices to a system. With over a half of a million nodes installed, ControlNet is now the fastest growing control network in the world. www.controlnet.org Introduction to ControlNet Rockwell Automation ControlNet System Overview Why is the ControlNet Network Better? Likewise, you can configure multiple device-level systems, such as Using the producer/consumer network model, ControlNet provides DeviceNet and Foundational Fieldbus™ H1 from one location on a simple, deterministic and flexible ControlNet. You no longer have to move from place-to-place, way of transferring data, when other device-to-device for configuration purposes.

These benefits–faster response, precise performance, increased flexibility/optimization–all yield higher productivity for you. Also, you can configure multiple ControlNet systems from one location on an information level network, such as Ethernet. 2 Rockwell Automation ControlNet System Overview Introduction to ControlNet THIS SIDE UP SIDE THIS POWER ST0 1 234567 ST0 1 2 3 4 567 ST0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ST0 1 2 3 4567 ST0 1 2 3 4 O O O FL0T 1 2 3 4 5 67 O 5 6 7 O FL0T 1 234 5 6 7 O K K K 15 ST8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 FL0T 1 2 3456 7 ST8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 K ST8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 K ST8910 11 12 13 14 15 K FL8T 910 11 12 13 14 15 FL8T 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 OK OK B A B A DIAGNOSTIC DIAGNOSTIC DIAGNOSTIC B A A B A EtherNet/IP Introduction to ControlNet Rockwell Automation ControlNet System Overview DEVICE LEVEL This allows users to reduce hardwiring, save installation time and costs, and gain valuable diagnostics from the various sensors, actuators, and other devices connecting to the control system.
