Posted 20 Oct 2009 Is it possible to configure 1747-SCNR using RsLinx and RSnetworx? I don't have 1784-PCC and 1784-PCC1 because they are expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 20 Oct 2009 RSNetworx needs to be able to access the ControlNet network to configure the 1747-SCNR. You can use the 1784-PCC/PCC1 interface card or 1784-PCIC interface card, which are the most direct connection. You can also connect to the ControlNet using a 1770-KFC15 serial interface, or the slot-mounted 1747-KFC15 serial interface. You can also connect by bridging to the ControlNet from a ControlLogix system using a 1756-CNB, -CNBR, -CN2, or -CN2R module. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Oct 2009 Someone has 1784-PCC and 1784-PCC1 to lend me? I don't wanto to buy this component, because they are expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Oct 2009 Maybe this is a dumb question but if you were so worried about costs, why did you invest in the most expensive network available for AB processors, next to the obsolete DH+/RIO? If you use Controlnet, then you will need to shell out a lot of cash for every node, extra software, coaxial cable, cable couplers, and so forth. There is a reason that the PC world quit using Arcnet (the underlying network Controlnet is based on) about 20 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
