ControlNet Connectors Cable connection to the module is through standard BNC connectors on the module frontplate, as shown below. Figure 2 Cable Connections. Example of a Redundant System trunkline A = Terminator trunkline B = Terminator end device PLC-5/20C or PLC-5/04C 1.
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’s switch • the one’s switch The combination of these switches allows selection of network addresses from 01 to 99.

• from trunkline A to channel A on the 1747-ACNR15 Redundant media • from trunkline B to channel B on the 1747-ACNR15 1. While both channels are active, Allen-Bradley recommends using channel A for non-redundant media. ATTENTION: Do not allow any metal portions of the tap to contact any conductive material.

Connecting Programming Terminals to the Network via the NAP You can connect programming terminals to the ControlNet network by connecting to the network access port (NAP).
Powerup Sequence There are three health indicators on the module. The LED on the right (labeled “OK”) is the generic module health indicator. The LED in the middle (labeled “A”) is the health indicator for cable A. On the 1747-ACNR15, the LED on the left (labeled “B”) is the health indicator for cable B.
Troubleshooting With the Status Indicators and status Display The module has indicators on the front plate, as shown below. These indicators consist of: • health indicators • status indicators • display of status and address Use these indicators for troubleshooting the module. Figure 11 Indicators Status Display and Net Address...
