FLDBUS Menu

The FLDBUS menu is shown only if a DeviceNet, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, or ControlNet option card is installed.
The SWAP parameter on the FLDBUS menu enables byte swapping by the iRite BusCommand handler rather than
requiring a SWP (SWAPBYTE) instruction in the PLC. Byte swapping is enabled by default for DeviceNet cards;
for all other fieldbus cards, byte swapping is disabled by default.

BYTE swaps bytes within the word before transmission to the scanner

WORD swaps words 1 and 2, 3 and 4, within a 4-word packet

BOTH performs both operations, swapping bytes within a word and swapping words within the packet

NONE disables swapping

The DATASIZE parameter sets the size of the BusCommand handler data transfers. The default value (8 bytes)
matches the default data size specified in the EDS and GSD files, and used by the standard discrete transfer
commands. DATASIZE can be set to any value from 2–128 bytes (1–64 words), but the value specified must match
the data size set for the PLC Scanner I/O data size.

Description

Level 2 submenus

SWAP

NONE
BYTE
WORD
BOTH

Specifies byte-swapping used for the fieldbus card. For DeviceNet cards, this parameter defaults to
BYTE; for all other cards the default value is NONE.

NOTE: In Version 3.08 firmware, this parameter supports values of YES (byte swapping) or NO.
Version 3.09 replaces
YES with BYTE, NO with NONE, and adds the values WORD and BOTH.

DATASIZE

8
2-128

Specifies the data size, in bytes, that the BusCommand handler transfers. If this parameter is set to
a value other than the default (8 bytes), ensure that it matches the Scanner I/O data size specified
for the PLC.

VERS Menu

The VERS menu can be used to check the installed software version or, by using the

Reset Config

softkey, to restore

all configuration parameters to their factory default values. There are no parameters associated with the Version
menu: when selected, the indicator displays the installed software version number.
