Set the Requested Packet
Interval (RPI)

When you configure an I/O module, you define the requested packet interval
(RPI) for the module. Only data-producing modules require an RPI. For
example, a local EtherNet/IP communication module requires no RPI because it
produces no data for the system. Instead it functions only as a bridge.

To set an RPI, follow these steps.

1. Make sure the module is installed, started and connected to the controller

via a serial, or other network, connection.

2. In the Controller Organizer, right-click the EtherNet/IP communication

module and choose Properties.

The Module Properties dialog box appears.

3. Click the Connection tab.
