ControlNet is an open industrial network protocol for industrial automation applications, this is also known as a Fieldbus. It is supported by ControlNet International. A Fieldbus is an industrial network system for real-time distributed control. ...

ControlNet defines a unique physical layer based on RG-6 Coaxial cable with BNC connectors. Features which sets ControlNet apart from other fieldbusses includes the built in support for fully redundant cables and the fact that all communication on ControlNet is strictly scheduled and highly deterministic. RG-6/U is a common type of coaxial cable used in a wide variety of residential and commercial applications. ... Coaxial Cable For the weapon, see coaxial weapon. ... Male BNC connector Cables with BNC connectors Adapter between a female BNC connector and banana plugs Picture to show the similarity between 50 Ω and 75 Ω BNC connectors Pulse generators with BNC connectors and cables. ...

The physical layer signaling is based on Manchester code at 5Mbit/s. In telecommunication, Manchester code (also known as Phase Encoding, or PE) is a form of data communications line code in which each bit of data is signified by at least one voltage level transition. ...

The ControlNet application layer protocol is based on the Control and Information Protocol (CIP) layer which is also used in DeviceNet™ and EtherNet/IP™. CIP can refer to Carriage and Insurance Paid to, an Incoterm Cellular IP, a micromobility protocol Center for Intellectual Property Studies, founded by Gothenburg University and Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. ...
