• 1747-KFC15 ControlNet Messaging Module
• 1747-SCNR ControlNet Scanner
• 1747-ACN15 and 1747-ACNR15 ControlNet Adapters
ControlNet Messaging Module
The 1747-KFC15 module provides the capability for an SLC 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05
processor to send or receive unscheduled ControlNet messages. With unscheduled
messaging, the SLC controller program can send peer-to-peer messages or be accessed
and edited over the ControlNet network using RSLogix 500 software. The 1747-KFC15
consumes 0.640 A @ 5V DC.
The ControlNet Messaging Module features:
• 4-digit, 7-segment display for node address and module status.
• RS-232 KFC to SLC cable (included).
• media redundancy via dual BNC connectors.
• power from the SLC chassis backplane.
• ability to upgrade firmware via ControlFlash.
ControlNet Scanner Module
The 1747-SCNR module provides scheduled ControlNet network connections for SLC
5/02, 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 processors. With scheduled messaging, the SLC processor
can control I/O events in real time on the ControlNet network. The 1747-SCNR
module can communicate with the 1771-PLC5C, 1756-Lx controllers, and with another
1747-SCNR module via scheduled messages on the ControlNet network. The
1747-SCNR module consumes 0.900 A @ 5V DC.
The ControlNet Scanner Module features:
• media redundancy via dual BNC connectors.
• ability to upgrade firmware via ControlFlash.
The 1747-SCNR module can control 1788-CN2DN and 1788-CN2FF linking devices
as well as a variety of I/O platforms. The table below indicates with a “✓” which I/O
platforms the 1747-SCNR module can control.
