You should not have to change any settings here.

• Requested Packet Interval

– Specify the number of milliseconds between

requests for information from the controller to the RFID block. The block
may provide data on a shorter interval, but if no data is received, the
controller asks the RFID block for a status update. Minimum setting is 2.
Maximum setting is 750.

• Inhibit Module

– When checked, the RFID block is not polled for

information, and any information provided will be ignored by the
controller.

• Major Fault on Controller If Connection Fails While In Run Mode

Check this box if a connection failure should be considered a major fault.

• Use Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP

–Unicast connections are

point-to-point connections. Multicast connections are considered one-to-
many. Unicast reduces the amount of network bandwidth used.

• Module Fault

– Fault messages will appear in this box.
