Next confi gure the Communication Tab by entering the Path to the MW100. The Path can be designated by the name of the
Ethernet port on the PLC (in this case LocalENB – see I/O Confi guration below) followed by a comma, with 2 (depth of com-
munications) followed by a comma and the IP address of the MW100 (e.g., 192.168.1.126). Check Connected and Cache Con-
nections
to speed up communications to the MW100.

If the path to the MW100 is already confi gured in RSLinx

®

then RSLogix

®

will automatically replace the explicit path (e.g., Lo-

calENB,2,192.168.1.126) with the named path (e.g., MW100 as seen below beside attached ETHERNET-MODULE). If the
MW100 has not been confi gured within RSLinx

®

then ETHERNET-MODULE MW100 would not be present in the tree below and

the explicit path on the Communication Tab will not be resolved and replaced with MW100.

The last thing to do is to place some activation logic around the message to tell it when to write. In this case, when the contact
WriteMessageBit is toggled on the MSG block activates and writes to the MW100; the WriteMessageBit is simultaneously toggled
off with the output WriteMessageBit unlatch coil.
