ControlNet Side: → Adapter Mode: Connects as a slave to ControlNet scanners (e.g., Rockwell ControlLogix PLCs). → Scanner Mode: Actively manages ControlNet devices (e.g., Flex I/O, drives).
Industrial Ethernet Side: → EtherNet/IP Device: Seamless integration with Rockwell Studio 5000 systems. → PROFINET IO Device (optional): Compatible with Siemens TIA Portal. → OPC UA Server (license required): Secure cloud data transmission.

Intelligent Protocol Routing
CIP Data Bridging: → Native CIP protocol routing between ControlNet and EtherNet/IP (no data mapping required). → Supports cross-segment Produced/Consumed Tags transfer.
Multi-Protocol Conversion: → Configure ControlNet-to-PROFINET/OPC UA rules via SYCON.net. → Generate EDS files (ControlNet) and GSDML files (PROFINET).
Engineering & Diagnostics
Zero-Code Integration: → Pre-certified for ODVA ControlNet & EtherNet/IP. → Directly import EDS files into Studio 5000.
Dual-Layer Diagnostics: → Physical Layer: LED indicators for ControlNet media status (green: normal, red: conflict). → Protocol Layer: Web server for real-time traffic monitoring (CIP packet statistics).
