Double Communication Capacity

This additional capacity can be accomplished with fewer modules than before, which results in lower set-up costs, conserved cabinet space and improved control system performance, says the vendor. “The continued trend toward capturing and leveraging data from the factory floor is resulting in an increased need for more networking capacity,” says Gordon Daily, ControlNet product marketing specialist at the vendor. “With these new modules, we’re helping ControlLogix system users cost-effectively increase their network bandwidth and at the same time protect existing investments in control system technology.” The CN2 and CN2R are compatible with all other existing ControlNet products, and can be added to existing systems.
