Channel LEDs
Channel LEDs Description
A and B, steady off Module is not initialised
A and B, steady red Faulted unit, must be restarted or repaired
A and B, alternating red/green Selftest of bus controller
A and B, flashing red Incorrect node configuration, duplicate MacID, etc.
A or B, steady off Channel is disabled, depending on network configuration
A or B, steady green Normal operation of channel
A or B, flashing green Temporary errors (node will self correct) or node is not
configured to go online
A or B, flashing red Media fault or no other nodes on the network
A or B, flashing red/green Incorrect network configuration
Appendix A.2. Using RSNetWorx Version 1.06 with PLC-5 scanner
The Anybus ControlNet module is not supported for versions earlier than 1.06.
• Ensure all nodes are physically connected and start RSNetworx.
• Go online (check the Go online box) - all connected nodes should appear on the
screen.
• Right click on the PLC5 node and choose ControlNet configuration. The program now
launches the Map Editing Tool used to set up data mapping in the PLC-5 processor.
• Right click on the line that contains the Anybus ControlNet module (in the current
version of RSNetworx displayed as Any-BusDT) and choose Insert device connection.
• When the line changes to blue, the connection size in, connection size out and to which
address in the PLC the data shall be mapped should be entered. The data is mapped to
the Integer area (N-area). For example, 50 bytes in each direction can be mapped so
now 25 words in and 25 words out can be chosen.
• Save the configuration, switch the PLC key to run and the data is transferred to/from the
PLC data table at the specified address.
Appendix A.3. Using RSLogix 5000 for network configuration
RSLogix is a programming and configuration tool from Rockwell automation. The information
included in this section is based on an entry in the Rockwell Automation Support Library and
can be accessed at:

RSLogix 5000 Version 2.25 and higher versions have a generic profile called
CONTROLNET- MODULE which is applicable to devices that connect directly to ControlNet,
such as the 1203-CN1 communications card with a Rockwell drive or a Schneider
Momentum I/O device. The Anybus ControlNet card also uses this profile. All Anybus
ControlNet-enabled I/O will use the same assembly instance numbers, but the data size will
change depending on the application and must be relayed to the end user. The ControlNet
module does not use configuration data so the length should be left at zero, though you
must enter a non-zero number for the assembly instance. The following list provides
