16 CompactLogix ControlNet Interface Module Connect to a ControlNet Network The 1768-CNB and 1768-CNBR modules have a network access port (NAP) available. The most common and easiest way to connect to the network is by using the a ControlNet tap. Perform the following steps to connect the module to the network by using a tap.
Page 17
CompactLogix ControlNet Interface Module 17 On 1768-CNBR installations, make sure the correct network is IMPORTANT connected to the correct tap connection. Reversing the tap connections will result in incorrect status display. When you are using redundant media, connect the channel of each partner to the same network segment.
