MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio, Jan. 9, 2006 — Control system users who want to cost-effectively expand their communication capacity while improving overall performance have a new option from Rockwell Automation. The Allen-Bradley 1756-CN2 module and the 1756-CN2R media redundancy module each allow Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) users to double networking capacity. This additional capacity can be accomplished with fewer modules, which results in lower setup costs, conserved cabinet space and improved control system performance.

   俄亥俄Mayfield Heights 2006年1月9日消息——羅克韋爾自動化為那些想低價高效提升整體性能的同時擴大通訊容量的控制系統用戶提供了新的選擇。艾倫-布拉德利（Allen-Bradley ）1756-CN2 模塊和1756-CN2R媒介冗余模塊均支持艾倫-布拉德利ControlLogix的可編程自動控制器（PAC）用戶將他們的網絡容量翻倍。這增加的容量由少量的模塊完成，成本低廉，節省機箱空間并且控制系統性能極大提升。

"The continued trend toward capturing and leveraging data from the factory floor is resulting in an increased need for more networking capacity," said Gordon Daily, ControlNet product marketing specialist, Rockwell Automation. "With these new modules, we''re helping ControlLogix system users cost-effectively increase their network bandwidth and at the same time protect existing investments in control system technology."

   “隨著從工廠獲取數據的趨勢越來越多，導致了對網絡容量的需求也越來越大，”羅克韋爾自動化ControlNet產品市場專員Gordon Daily說，“通過這些模塊，我們幫助ControlLogix系統用戶低價高效地提升他們的網絡帶寬，同時，保護了他們對控制系統技術的現有投資。”

The CN2 and CN2R are compatible with all other existing ControlNet products and can be added to existing systems, thus protecting customer investments and allowing the mix and match of ControlNet products.

   CN2 和CN2R適用于任何現有的ControlNet產品，可安裝在現有的系統中，這樣就保護了消費者的投資，可以與ControlNet產品搭配組合。

The 1756-CN2 and 1756-CN2R ControlNet bridge modules for ControlLogix PACs are currently available.

適用于ControlLogix PAC的1756-CN2 和756-CN2R ControlNet 橋模塊將在近期推出。

The ControlNet network is based on the same Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) technology available in DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP networks. These networks are a critical element in the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture, which addresses a full range of automation and information needs in manufacturing, including sequential, motion, process, drive and safety applications, and seamless information integration with the rest of the site, or the entire enterprise.

   ControlNet網絡是基于應用于DeviceNet和EtherNet/IP網絡的同樣的通用工業協議（CIP）技術。這些網絡是羅克韋爾自動化集成結構的一個重要成分，廣泛應用于生產中的自動化和信息需求，包括順序取樣，運動，過程，驅動和安全應用，以及整個企業或剩余地方的無縫信息整合。
