ControlNet PCI Communication
Interface Card
Catalog Number 1784-PCIC and 1784-PCICS
The 1784-PCIC and -PCICS cards are peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
open-bus interface cards. The cards enable PCI local bus compatible computers to
communicate directly with other ControlNet
TM
products.
The 1784-PCIC communication interface card is a messaging only card that provides
ControlNet monitoring and configuration capabilities. The 1784-PCICS
communication interface card provides ControlNet I/O bridging as well as
monitoring and configuration capabilities.
This document describes how to install the 1784-PCIC/PCICS ControlNet
communication interface cards.

Handling the Card
Take these precautions to guard against ESD damage:
• Before you handle the card, touch a grounded object to discharge and
built-up static charge.
• Avoid touching the backplane connector or interface connector pins located
on the card.
• If the card is not in use, store it in the anti-static clamshell that the card was
shipped in.
Install the Card Inside the Computer
Before you install the card, be certain that you:
• know how to install hardware in your computer
• consult your computer’s documentation for hardware installation instructions
ATTENTION
!
The card uses CMOS technology, which is highly sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD may be present whenever
you handle the card. When you handle the card without any
ESD protection you can cause internal circuit damage that may
not be apparent when you install or initially use the card.
TIP
Remember, a computer with ac power disconnected is not a
grounded object.
TIP
Installation instructions for both the 1784-PCIC and 1784-PCICS
cards are exactly the same. In most illustrations, the 1784-PCIC
card is shown.

on how to:
1. Turn off the power to the host computer with the power switch.
2. Remove the computer’s cover.
3. Select a vacant PCI local bus expansion slot.
4. Loosen the screw on the back (rear bracket) of the computer.
5. Remove the slot’s expansion cover.
6. Insert the card.
To insert the card inside the computer:
1. Follow the card handling instructions on page 6.
2. Insert the card into the edge connector and tighten the expansion slot screw.
3. Turn on the computer to be certain that it comes up correctly.
4. When the computer boots up correctly, replace the computer’s cover.

Connect the Card
After you have installed the card, you can connect it:
• to a device already connected to the ControlNet network (page 9)
• directly to a ControlNet network, which requires a tap (page 12)
See Figure 1 on page 8 for the connectors and indicators.

Connect to a Device on the ControlNet Network
The 1786-CP cable (Figure 2) connects a host computer to another ControlNet
device. It has two RJ-45 8-pin connectors.
Figure 2 1786-CP cable
ATTENTION
!
Do not connect more than one ControlNet network to this
card. If you attempt to connect a second network to this
card, your communication system will operate erratically.
If you connect or disconnect the ControlNet cable with
power applied to the module or 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 non-hazardous before proceeding.
TIP
If you use a non-redundant cable system, all ControlNet
devices must be on the same channel, channel A.

When you use the RJ-45 connector, you can connect the card to a ControlNet
network without a tap through the Network Access Port (or NAP) of a
programmable controller, I/O adapter, or other ControlNet compliant devices
(Figure 3 and Figure 4).
Figure 3 Connect a computer to a ControlNet network through a programmable
controller or an I/O adapter
ATTENTION
!
If you connect the product to a cable system that does not
support redundant media, connect the tap dropline to the BNC
connector labeled channel A. Channel B is left open.
If the cable system is redundant, connect the product so that
all devices on the network use the same cable for the same
channel. That is, all channel A connectors connect to one
cable; all channel B connectors connect to the other.
1 The 1786-CP cable can be plugged into any ControlNet product’s NAP to provide programming
capability on the ControlNet network. When you connect a programming terminal through this
cable, it is counted as a node and must have a unique address.

1784-PCIC and -PCICS Drivers
The drivers for the 1784-PCIC and -PCICS are included with either:
• Rockwell Software’s RSLinx 2.2 Service Pack 2
Or the combination of:
• Rockwell Software’s RSLinx 2.2 Service Pack 1 and
• Rockwell Automation’s SoftLogix 5800 6.00
Rockwell Software’s RSNetWorx for ControlNet 2.25 is required to configure a
ControlNet network containing the 1784-PCICS.
Refer to online Help in RSLinx for information on how to configure the driver for
the 1784-PCIC/PCICS card. For more information about RSLinx, visit
http://www.software.rockwell.com. See page 4 for additional technical support
information.
The 1784-PCIC and -PCICS cards require one of these operating systems:
• Windows NT 4.0, SP3
• Windows 98
• Windows 2000
Interpret the Status Indicators on the 1784-PCIC and -PCICS
The status indicators on the card give you information about the card and the
network when you’re connected via the BNC connectors. Table B outlines the
states and explains what each state means to you and the action you should take, if
any, to correct that state.
ControlNet status interpretation
• steady - 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 module to a ControlNet network using
the network access port (NAP) only, the LEDs are meaningless.
