RSNetWorx for ControlNet is a 32-bit graphical network configuration tool. This software provides an instant, selectable view of any ControlNet network. RSNetWorx automatically calculates network bandwidth and timing for the entire network as well as the bandwidth requirements for each network component. This capability makes RSNetWorx a "command center" for all network control and messaging communications traffic. RSNetWorx lets users obtain information on and configure any ControlNet network or network component within their management hierarchy from a single interface, thus replacing the controller-centric approach with a more versatile network-view approach. RSNetWorx for ControlNet uses RSLinx® for its API and driver interface.
