Chapter 4 Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection in RSLogix 5000 Software

4. Enter values for Name and Slot, noting that we used the following values.

5. Choose the Connection tab to set the RPI value.

The RPI is selectable since it is a direct connection

6. Enter 20 ms as the RPI for the 1738-IB4M12 module to set how often you

exchange data with the I/O adapter.

Note that the RPI is selectable on the screen and has a default value of
20.0 ms. Because we are making a direct connection to each I/O module,
we must specify an RPI to determine how often the data is exchanged with
the 1738-AENT adapter for each module.

IMPORTANT

To avoid overloading the 1738-AENT/B adapter, it is recommended
that the RPI be no less than 20 ms.
