information on the settings for the CONTROLNET-MODULE profile with AnyBus-S enabled devices.

Name:

(choose a unique name for this module)

Description:

(self-explanatory and optional)

Comm Format:

Select ‘Data - INT’

Node:

Select the ControlNet node number for this device

Input Assembly Instance:

100

Size:

Varies with how the module is intialized

Note: The ControlNet module uses a ControlNet 32-bit run/idle header, so the actual data from the module will always start with word 2 (the third word) of the data. The first 2 words, at 16 bits each, are the ControlNet run/idle header. If you want to mask off the run/idle header for clarity, create a user defined type with 2 members - HEADER, type DINT; and DATA, type INT with ‘input assembly size - 2’. Copy the data from the actual input tag to a tag of this structure, and then you can reference the structure's DATA member using the element numbers in your documentation.

Output Assembly Instance:

150

Size:

Varies with how the module is initialized

Configuration Assembly Instance:

1

Size:

0

Note: There will always be a configuration tag of type AB:ControlNet_MODULE:C:0 created for this module, which has one member called Data, of type SINT[400]. This SINT[400] tag is created regardless of the configuration size, which can range from 0 to 400 bytes (SINTs). Since a data size of zero is specified, no data will be sent to the module.
