outstanding unconnected messages. These are unconnected messages that
have been sent to the module and are being processed and have not yet
generated a response or time-out.
Table A.3 Unconnected Messaging Limits
1788-CNx Each module supports 32 connections, of which 22 connections can be scheduled connections. With
these controllers, the number of end-node connections they effectively support is dependent on the
application’s NUT and RPI:
In the table above, with a NUT and RPI of 40 ms and greater, the ControlNet card supports 22
communications connections. In this case, the remaining 10 connections can be used for unscheduled
connections.
1794-ACN15, 1794-ACNR15
and 1797-ANCR
Each module supports a maximum 32 end-node connections for messages. With these cards, the number
of end-node connections they support is dependent on the application’s NUT:
