Data Type Definitions
• Output Process Data blocks that include:
- The active event code to clear ((configurable option)
- The output process data to be sent to the port. This may be
• IO-Link mode: IO-Link device output process data
• I/O Output mode: Output bit status
• ISDU (ISDU) interface:
- Provides single and nested batch read/write capabilities
- Requires use of MSG instructions
- Provides both blocking and non-blocking message capabilities
• Blocking message responses are not returned until all the ISDU command(s) have completed.
• Non-blocking messages return immediately. The PLC must then request the ISDU command(s)
response status until a valid response is returned.
• Web based configuration and diagnostic pages:
- IO-Link interface configuration and diagnostics
- EtherNet/IP interface configuration and diagnostics
• EtherNet/IP interface support for ControlLogix, SLC, MicroLogix, and PLC-5 PLC families.
• Modbus/TCP slave interface.
• Example PLC programs to aid the PLC programmer.
