ControlLogix-XT Systems
The ControlLogix-XT™ products include control and communication system components that, when used with FLEX I/O-XT™ products, provide a complete control system solution that can be used in environments where temperatures range from -20…70 °C (-4…158 °F).
When used independently, the ControlLogix-XT system can withstand environments where the temperature ranges from -25…70 °C (-13…158 °F).
ControlLogix-XT with Traditional ControlLogix Components
IMPORTANT
ControlLogix-XT system components are rated for extreme environmental conditions only when used properly with other Logix-
XT system components. The use of ControlLogix-XT components with traditional ControlLogix system components nullifies extreme-environment ratings.
If a ControlLogix-XT module is used with traditional ControlLogix products that are not designed for extreme environments, the ControlLogix-XT module can withstand only the environments specified for the traditional ControlLogix version of the module. For example, if a 1756-CN2RXT module is used in a traditional 1756-A10 chassis, the 1756-CN2RXT module can withstand only the environment specified for the traditional 1756-CN2R module.
The ControlLogix-XT system components are designed to meet the same and greater operational and environmental requirements as traditional
ControlLogix products.
When a ControlLogix-XT component is used as a replacement for a traditional
ControlLogix component, the functional and environmental requirements of the traditional ControlLogix component apply.

Reset the Module to the Original Factory Settings
If you are using a 1756-CN2, 1756-CN2R, 1756-CN2RXT or 1756-CN2RK communication module, you can reset the module to its original settings and clear all keeper information.
To reset a module to its factory settings, complete these steps.
1. Remove power from the chassis.
IMPORTANT
Removing power from the chassis before removing the module is only necessary if the module is in a Class I, Division 2 hazardous location.
2. Remove the module from the chassis.
3. Reset the switches to 00.
IMPORTANT
Do not use the 00 switch setting during normal module operation.
4. Replace the module in the chassis.
5. Apply power to the chassis.
6. After the module status display reads ‘Reset Complete—Change Switch
Settings’, remove power from the chassis.
7. Remove the module from the chassis.
8. Set the switches to their final value.
9. Replace the module in the chassis.

Keeper Configuration—Automatic Keeper Crossload
The 1756-CN2, 1756-CN2R, 1756-CN2RXT, and 1756-CN2RK communication modules are keeper capable modules. If a keeper capable module has a valid configuration and has the lowest address among the keeper capable nodes on the network, it becomes the active keeper. The active keeper is the node that distributes network configuration information to other nodes as the network is formed or as nodes are added to the network.
When the module is first removed from the box or is reset to the original factory settings, it will automatically attempt to crossload configuration information from the current active keeper. If an active keeper with a valid network configuration is present on the active network, the configuration crossload will succeed. No user intervention is needed. However, if an active keeper does not exist or does not have a valid network configuration, you must use RSNetWorx for ControlNet software to download the network configuration information.

The 1786-CP cable can be plugged into any ControlNet network product’s NAP to provide programming capability on the ControlNet network. A programming terminal connected through this cable is counted as a node and must have a unique network address.
ATTENTION: Use a 1786-CP cable when connecting a programming terminal to the network through an NAP. Using a commercially available RJ-style cable could result in network failure.
WARNING: The NAP is intended only for temporary local programming purposes and is not intended for permanent connection. If you connect or disconnect the NAP cable with power applied to any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

These ControlNet bridge modules support redundant media:
• 1756-CN2R
• 1756-CN2RK
• 1756-CN2RXT
• 1756-CNBR/E
• 1768-CNBR
You can run a second trunk cable between ControlNet nodes for redundant media. With redundant media, nodes send signals on separate trunks. The receiving node compares the quality of the two signals and permits use of the better signal while retaining the other signal on a back-up cable should the primary trunk cable fail.
Trunk cables on a redundant cable link are defined by the segment number and the redundant trunk-cable letter.
Actual ControlNet products are labeled with these icons:
The shaded icon represents redundant media.
In this example, the redundant trunk cable is trunk cable B.
IMPORTANT
ControlNet redundant media can tolerate only one fault. If there is a fault on both channel A and B, network integrity is not guaranteed.

Redundant Media
Figure 1 - Redundant Media Example

Node
To use redundant media, all nodes must support redundant media.
Observe these guidelines when planning a redundant media system in a hazardous area:
• Route trunk cables A and B differently to reduce the chance of both cables being damaged simultaneously.
– Trunk cables A and B may contain different lengths of cable if you are using 1786-RPA/B repeater adapters. However, the difference in length must not exceed 800 m (2640 ft).
– Trunk cables A and B must have identical configurations. Each segment must contain the same number of taps, nodes, and repeaters. Connect nodes and repeaters in the same relative sequence on both trunk cables.
• Each node on a redundant-cable link must support redundant coax connections and be connected to both trunk cables at all times. Any nodes connected to only one side of a redundant-cable link will result in media errors on the unconnected trunk cable.
• Install the cable system so that the trunk cables at any physical device location can be easily identified and labeled with the appropriate icon or letter. Each redundant ControlNet device is labeled so you can connect it to the corresponding trunk cable.

Rockwell Automation Publication CNET-IN005C-EN-P - July 2014
Redundant Media
Chapter 3
IMPORTANT
We recommend that you do not mix cable connections when using redundant cabling, such as connecting trunk cable A to the B connector on the node.
Mixing cable connections makes it difficult to interpret cable fault indications and locate a bad cable segment.
When in Redundant Cable mode, each node independently decides whether to use channel A or channel B. This decision is based on error counters internal to each node. Redundant cabling is only valid if there is only one fault on the network. In other words, if you have a proper redundant cabling system and you remove node 3 on trunk A and node 4 on trunk B, the system will not operate correctly because a double failure has occurred.

Interpret the OK Status Indicator
IMPORTANT
The OK status indicator reflects the module state, such as the running of a selftest, the updating of firmware, and normal operation without an established connection.
When you view the status indicators, always view the OK status indicator first to determine the state of the module. This information may help you to interpret the network channel status indicators. As a general practice, view all status indicators together to gain a full understanding of the module’s status.
Interpret the Network Channel Status Indicators
The network channel status indicators appear in one of these states:
• Steady—The indicator is on continuously in the defined state.
• Alternating—The two indicators alternate between the two defined states at the same time (applies to both indicators viewed together). The two indicators are always in opposite states, out of phase.
• Flashing—The indicator alternates between the two defined states (applies to each indicator viewed independent of the other). If both indicators flash, they must flash together, in phase.
IMPORTANT
When you connect the 1756-CNB/E and 1756-CNBR/E modules to a ControlNet network by using only the NAP, the channel A and channel B indicators are meaningless.

Description
The module is not communicating due to a power supply fault or internal fault.
Do any of the following:
• Check the power supply.
• Check the cable connectors.
• Make sure the module is firmly seated in the chassis.
• If the status indicator remains off, replace the module.
The module’s network address is set to 00, an invalid ControlNet address, or 99, an invalid ControlNet address if you are using enhanced redundancy control. See the footnote at the end of the table.
Remove the module from the chassis, and set the network address to a valid value. For more information, see
Install a 1756 ControlNet Communication Module on page 9
.
The module has detected a different slot address from that latched in when the module was started. Excessive noise on the backplane causes this error.
Replace the chassis or module.
Too many CRC errors are being generated by the multicast backplane receiver, so the backplane multicast receivers have been shut off.
Replace the module.
Hardware within the module has faulted.
Replace the module.
For enhanced redundancy systems, this may be a temporary condition during chassis switchover. Otherwise, the module’s network address is the same as another module’s on the link.
For enhanced redundancy systems only, wait 10 seconds. If the condition persists, remove the module from the chassis, and set the switches to a unique address. For more information, see
Install a 1756 ControlNet Communication Module on page 9
.
The module cannot read the backplane EEPROM, or the rack/slot address is incorrect.
Replace the chassis.
The 1756-CNB/E module was commanded to stop functioning by the redundancy module. This occurs when a nonredundancy-compliant 1756-CNB/E module is placed into a redundant secondary chassis.
Remove the nonredundancy-compliant 1756-CNB/E module from the redundant secondary chassis and replace it with a redundant 1756-CNBR/E module.
The 1756-CNB/E module is waiting for the redundancy module to be started.
The module has invalid firmware.
Update the module’s firmware with ControlFLASH software.
A firmware update is in progress.
The module has detected that it has been connected to a ControlNet single-keeper network, version 1.0 or 1.25.
Update the firmware of module at node address 01 and reschedule the network.

Network Channel Status Indicators
The ControlNet network channel-status indicators appear in one of these states:
• Steady—The indicator is on continuously in the defined state.
• Alternating—The two indicators alternate between the two defined states at the same time (applies to both indicators viewed together). The two indicators are always in opposite states, out of phase.
• Flashing—The indicator alternates between the two defined states (applies to each indicator viewed independent of the other). If both indicators are flashing, they must flash together, in phase.
