ControlNet PCI Communication
Interface Card
Catalog Number 1784-PCIC and 1784-PCICS
The 1784-PCIC and -PCICS cards are peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
open-bus interface cards. The cards enable PCI local bus compatible computers to
communicate directly with other ControlNet
The 1784-PCIC communication interface card is a messaging only card that provides
ControlNet monitoring and configuration capabilities. The 1784-PCICS
communication interface card provides ControlNet I/O bridging as well as
monitoring and configuration capabilities.

ControlNet PCI Communication Interface Card Handling the Card The card uses CMOS technology, which is highly sensitive to ATTENTION electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD may be present whenever you handle the card. When you handle the card without any ESD protection you can cause internal circuit damage that may not be apparent when you install or initially use the card. - Page 7 ControlNet PCI Communication Interface Card To install the card, you need to: • access to the computer’s expansion slots • possess either a Phillip-head or a flat-head screwdriver • insert the card into the computer Access the Computer’s PCI Local Bus Expansion Slots To install the card, you must access the computer’s PCI local bus expansion slots.

If you attempt to connect a second network to this card, your communication system will operate erratically. If you connect or disconnect the ControlNet cable with power applied to the module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur.
- Page 10 ControlNet PCI Communication Interface Card Use only the 1786-CP cable when you connect a ATTENTION programming terminal to the network through the network access port (NAP). If you use a different cable, it could result in possible network failures or product damage. See Tables A and B for the wiring for the 1786-CP cable.
- Page 11 ControlNet PCI Communication Interface Card 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).
