Connection Tab
The Connection tab on the Module Properties dialog box lets you enter a
requested packet interval (RPI), inhibit a module, and set a connection fault
when the controller is in Run mode. The RPI provides a defined, maximum
period of time when data is transferred to the owner-controller.
1. Choose from the options on the Connection tab.
Connection Available options are Data, Input Only, Exclusive Owner, and Listen Only.
Calibration and Configuration options are not available for Listen Only
option.
Input Only specifies an independent connection where a device receives
inputs from the target device and sends configuration data to the target
device. An Input Only connection does not send outputs; it only receives
inputs. You can specify multiple Input Only connections to the target
device from different originators.
Exclusive Owner specifies an independent connection where a single
device controls the output states in the target device. If you have an
existing Exclusive Owner connection to a target device, you cannot
specify another Exclusive Owner or Redundant connection to that same
target device.
Listen Only specifies a dependent connection where a device receives
inputs from the target device, but does not send configuration data with
the target device. A Listen Only connection only functions properly when
another non-Listen Only connection exists to the same target device. A
Listen Only connection does not send outputs; it only receives inputs. You
can specify multiple Listen Only connections to the target device from
different originators.
