Adding a CcnNetwork from the palette

The CcnNetwork component is the parent folder for CcnDevices, tables and points.

Prerequisites: You are using Workbench in a PC and are connected to a remote station.

Open the ccn palette.
Copy the CcnNetwork component to the Drivers node in the Nav tree.
The Name window opens.
Give the network a name or use the default name and click OK.
Right-click the CcnNetwork node and click Views > Ccn Network View.
The Ccn Network View opens.
Update at least these properties and click Save.
- Bus and element ranges for the: First Bus No, Last Bus No, Low Elem No and High Elem No for the devices to discover.
- The driver's Bus Address and Elem Address (typically 230-238).
- The Comm Port.
NOTE: On a controller, configure only the available ports.

As with most other drivers, the status of a CcnNetwork is either {Ok} or less typical {fault} ({fault} may result from a licensing error). The Health slot contains historical timestamp properties that record the last network status transitions from {Ok} to any other status. The Fault Cause property further explains any fault status.
