A-B 1769-L33ERMO Armor CompactLogix 5370 On Machine Controller

ControlNet is a real-time control network that provides high-speed transport of both time-critical I/O and interlocking data and messaging data,

including uploading and downloading of programming and configuration data on a single physical-media link. 

The ControlNet network’s highly-efficient data transfer capability significantly enhances I/O performance and peer-to-peer 

communication in any system or application.

The ControlNet network is highly deterministic and repeatable and remains unaffected as devices are connected or disconnected from the network. 

This robust quality results in dependable, synchronized, and coordinated real-time performance.

The ControlNet network often functions as:

• the default network for the CompactLogix platform.

• a substitute/replacement for the remote I/O (RIO) network because the ControlNet network adeptly handles large numbers of I/O points.

• a backbone to multiple distributed DeviceNet networks.

• a peer interlocking network.

For ControlNet communication, you can use these CompactLogix controllers with a built-in ControlNet communication port:

• 1769-L32C CompactLogix controller

• 1769-L35CR CompactLogix controller

IMPORTANT 

Consider the following before upgrading the firmware on your Logix5000 controller:

• Before updating your controller, we strongly recommend that you review information pertinent to previous major firmware revisions.

For example, when updating from revision 17.xxx to 19.xxx, view information in the following publications:

- CompactLogix Controllers, Revision 17 Release Notes, publication 1769-RN012

- CompactLogix Controllers, Revision 18 Release Notes, publication 1769-RN013

Firmware release notes contain material for all minor revisions subsequent to each major revision. 

If your controller, for example, is at revision 17.011, and not the last minor revision, 18.015, 

you should view all of the information for revisions 17.011...18.015 before updating to revision 19.xxx.

• After upgrading the firmware on your module, we strongly recommend that you retest or validate your application offline before going online.

Analog I/O Modules

Choose analog, thermocouple, or RTD modules for these features:

• Individually configurable channels

• Ability to enable and disable channels individually

• Onboard scaling

• Auto calibration of inputs

• Online configuration

• Selectable input filters

• Over-range and under-range detection and indication

• Selectable response to a broken input sensor

• Selectable power source

• Input modules offer both single-ended or differential inputs

• Ability to direct output device operation during an abnormal condition

• High accuracy ratings

The data can be configured on board each module as:

• Engineering Units in volts or milliamps.

• Scaled-for-PID.

• Percent of range.

• Raw/Proportional Data for maximum resolution.

Each 1769 I/O module has a distance rating. 

In 1769 systems, the distance rating is the number of modules between the specific module and the 1769 power supply. 

In a 1768 system, the distance rating is the number of modules between the specific I/O module and the 1768 controller.

Consider the following before you install the software:

• We recommend you install RSLinx communication software, version 2.057, before you install ControlFLASH software, version 9 (CPR9 SR3).

• If you install RSLinx communication software, version 2.057, before you install ControlFLASH software, 

version 9, you can enable or disable the FactoryTalkSecurity platform during ControlFLASH software, version 9, installation. 

However, to disable the FactoryTalk Security platform, you must first uninstall ControlFLASH software, version 9, then reinstall it.

• If the FactoryTalk Security platform is enabled during ControlFLASH software, version 9, installation, 

the software opens with a Select FactoryTalk Directory dialog box. 

At that dialog box, click the following: – Network – Local– Cancel - If you click Cancel, you must select a directory.

• ControlFLASH software, version 9, only integrates the FactoryTalk Security platform in the FactoryTalk Services Platform, version 2.030 or later.
