7.3.6 Connecting to the Server ControlNet Interface module for the
PC
The following procedure describes connecting drop-cables from your ControlNet taps to PCIC cards in
your Experion server. For the procedures for connecting drop-cables to the ControlNet modules in your
controller or I/O chassis, refer to
CAUTION
Do not connect more than one ControlNet network to the PCIC card. If you attempt to connect a
second network to the card, your communication system will operate erratically.
If you connect the PCIC card to a ControlNet network that does not support redundant media,
connect the tap drop-cable to the BNC connector labeled channel A. Channel B is left open.
If the ControlNet network is redundant, connect all devices on the network to the same cable for
the same channel. All channel A connectors connect to one cable and all channel B connectors
connect to the other. Also, make sure you follow established conventions and standards for
identifying drop-cables as described in the Planning Guide, Planning Your Taps,Planning for
drop-cable identification .
The PCIC (model TC-PCIC01) cards for the computer include three connectors for connecting to your
ControlNet network (see figure). These connectors provide two basic options for connecting the card's
host computer to the network.
Network Access Port (NAP): This connector is not for general use with Experion systems.
