RSNetworks for ControlNet, Set up a unit on the network as the Master and the rest as slaves, save the configuration and download to Master. The Key to ControlNet is Cabling!!!!!!!!! I have lost track of how many times I have gone to customers and redid the BNC ends on cables because of communication problems. Also if you are setting up a big network, be carefull how you address PanelViews, AB says no more than 3 PanelViews per ControlNet Network you can do more but you have to watch it if you are using Scheduled Messaging. Go EthernetI/P is what I recommend, I hate ControlNet and can not find any reason to use it, considering the other networks that are available.

This has been covered many times before, but Redundantcy and a Deterministic network are the reasons. You're right, Panelviews don't fit as well but if the spec. calls for it, thats the only way to go.
