Select a desired data type for the point range. Data
transferred through the exchange can be represented in
word (16-bit) or double word (32-bit) integer format, or in
IEEE single precision floating-point format.
As you specify an address range for the exchange, PAS
immediately shows you the data offset in bytes in the
production data area for the following range. Each
exchange can send a total of 480 bytes of production
data. PAS automatically truncates your range if you
specify more data than the exchange can accommodate.
To indicate the end of the address range list, put a zero
start point ID in the range following the last range you
specified.

The device will reject your setup if you specified an
inexistent start point ID for one of the address ranges. If
you specified more points in a range than the device can
provide, it truncates the range to the maximum number of
points available.
From this dialog box, you can also temporarily put a configured exchange
into the pending (disabled) state, and then resume (enable) it whenever
needed.
NOTE
When you change the consumer IP address for an exchange through the
Ethernet, the device port restarts so communications will be temporarily lost.
You may need to wait some additional time until PAS restores a connection
with your device.
