This chapter describes how to configure a ControlNet communication module
to operate on a ControlNet network.
To configure a ControlNet communication module to operate on the
ControlNet network, you must:
• connect your computer to the RSLogix 5000 project via an RSLinx
ControlNet software communication driver.
• add the ControlNet communication module to your RSLogix 5000
project.
• schedule the ControlNet network via RSNetWorx for ControlNet
software.

The example configuration process shown in this chapter
uses a ControlLogix ControlNet Bridge module
(1756-CNB) in a ControlLogix controller project.
However, the overall configuration process (briefly
described in the section Overview of the RSLogix 5000
Software Configuration Process) generally applies to any of
the ControlNet communication modules covered by this
manual.
