The ControlNet 1771 adapter modules (1771-ACN15, -ACNR15) control remote I/O on a ControlNet link. These adapters use 1/2-slot, 1-slot, and 2 slot addressing modes. Each adapter contains four segment-display and diagnostic status indicators for network address and I/O status indication.

ControlNet 1771 adapter modules support high-speed data transfer. Local communication network access is provided through the network access port (NAP). With series B and later releases, both the 1771-ANCN15 and 1771-ANCR15 now support redundancy.

Features Include:

• Redundant media support
• Local handling of block transfers to non-discrete I/O modules
• I/O data connections can be partitioned on a per module or module group basis. Each connection can be scheduled for a different production rate
• Multiple controllers and terminals can share module input data
• Adapter firmware is FLASH upgradable over ControlNet for easy access to new features
