(1) 128 connections are available for standard use. An additional three connections are reserved for redundant control.
Communication Connections
A ControlLogix system uses connections to establish communication links between devices. The types of connections
include the following:
Controller-to-local I/O modules or local communication modules
Controller-to-remote I/O or remote communication modules
Controller-to-remote I/O (rack-optimized) modules
Produced and consumed tags
Messages
Controller access with the Studio 5000 environment
Controller access with RSLinx software for HMI or other applications
You indirectly determine the number of connections the controller uses by configuring the controller to communicate with
other devices in the system. The limit of connections may ultimately reside in the communication module you use for the
connection. If a message path routes through a communication module, the connection that is related to the message also
counts towards the connection limit of that communication module.
EtherNet/IP Network
The Ethernet Industrial (EtherNet/IP) network protocol is an open industrial-networking standard that
supports both real-time I/O messaging and message exchange. The EtherNet/IP network uses
off-the-shelf Ethernet communication chips and physical media.

requirements for increased protection against salts, corrosives, moisture/condensation, humidity, and fungal growth.

Stratix Switches
To effectively manage real-time control and information flow throughout the manufacturing and IT enterprise, Rockwell
Automation offers a full portfolio of industrial Ethernet switches and media, including a line of Stratix switches integrated
with Cisco technology. The Stratix line of switches includes modular managed, fixed managed, and unmanaged switches.
For detailed specifications for Stratix switches, see Stratix Ethernet Switch Specifications Technical Data, publication
1783-TD001.
ControlNet Network
The ControlNet network is an open, control network for real-time, high-throughput applications. The
ControlNet network uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to combine the functionality of an I/O network
and a peer-to-peer network providing high-speed performance for both functions. The ControlNet network gives
you deterministic, repeatable transfers of all mission-critical control data in addition to supporting transfers of
non-time-critical data. I/O updates and controller-to-controller interlocking always take precedence over program
uploads and downloads, and messaging.
The Studio 5000 environment supports a generic ControlNet module that allows connections to ControlNet nodes for
which there is no specific support currently available in the programming software. A module configured as a generic
ControlNet module communicates with the controller in the form of input, output, status, and configuration tags.
For example, use the generic module configuration to set up communication between a ControlLogix controller and a
1203-CN1 ControlNet communication module. Then use the CIP generic MSG instruction type to send and receive
messages from the 1203-CN1 module.

DeviceNet Network
The DeviceNet network is open, providing connections between simple industrial devices, such as sensors
and actuators, and higher-level devices, such as controllers and computers. The DeviceNet network uses the
Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to control, configure, and collect data for industrial devices
.

Cat. No. Description
KwikLink Lite flat media KwikLink Lite flat media is a newer, ODVA-approved solution for wiring DeviceNet networks. Drop-lines for connecting nodes are
added by using the KwikLink Lite two-piece connectors. This cable system supports the intermixing of DeviceNet cable types (thin-
round with flat). All of the KwikLink Lite connectors provide insulation displacement technology with reduced assembly time.
KwikLink flat media The KwikLink flat media system provides a modular cabling method with its flat four-wire cable and Insulation Displacement
Connectors (IDCs). The KwikLink system allows nodes to be added to the network without severing the trunkline. Cutting or stripping
of the trunkline is eliminated, as is the need for predetermined cable lengths.
Round media Round trunk cable is available in bulk spools or as pre-molded cordsets or patchcords in varying lengths. A wide variety of rugged,
durable DeviceNet components is available for use in round trunk systems. Stainless steel versions of round cable system components
are also available:
Thick-trunk round media systems use thick cable for maximum DeviceNet trunk line length.
Round media thin-trunk systems use thin cable to reduce maximum trunk line distances with a more compact and cost-effective
installation for some applications. Thin-cable outer jacket material is TPE for additional chemical resistance.
For more information on selecting DeviceNet media, see the NetLinx Selection Guide, publication NETS-SG001.
The 1756-DHRIO module supports messaging between devices on DH+ networks. The remote I/O
functionality enables the module to act as a scanner for transferring digital and block-transfer data to and
from remote I/O devices.
The 1756-RIO module can act as a scanner or adapter on a remote I/O network. In addition to digital and
block-transfer data, the 1756-RIO module transfers analog and specialty data without message
instructions.

DH-485 Network
On the DH-485 network, the controller can send and receive messages to and from other controllers on the network. The
DH-485 connection does support remote programming and monitoring via the Studio 5000 environment. Excessive traffic
over a DH-485 connection can adversely affect overall performance and can lead to timeouts and loss in the Studio 5000
environment configuration performance.
IMPORTANT Use Logix5000 controllers on DH-485 networks only when you want to add controllers to an existing DH-485 network. For new
applications with Logix5000 controllers, we recommend open architecture networks.
You need a 1761-NET-AIC converter for each controller on the DH-485 network. You can have two controllers per one
1761-NET-AIC converter, but you need a different cable for each controller. Connect one controller to port 1
(9-pin connector) and one controller to port 2 (mini-DIN connector).

Time Synchronization
The 1756-TIME module provides accurate time synchronization on different interfaces by using Global Positioning
System (GPS) technology. The 1756-TIME module can obtain time from various sources, and provide time
synchronization on other devices by acting as a gateway between different time synchronization methods and standards.
