8. On the New Module screen, click the Connection tab.
9. In the ‘Requested Packet Interval (RPI)’ box, set the value to 5.0
milliseconds or greater.
This value determines the maximum interval that a controller should
use to move data to and from the adapter. To conserve bandwidth, use
higher values for communicating with low priority devices.
The ‘Inhibit Module’ box, when checked, inhibits the module from
communicating with the RSLogix 5000 project. When the ‘Major Fault
on …’ box is checked, a major controller fault will occur when the
module’s connection fails while the controller is in the Run Mode. For
this example, leave the ‘Inhibit Module’ and ‘Major Fault On …’ boxes
unchecked.
Important: Unicast support has been added to RSLogix 5000 software,
version 18.00 or later. However, to also support unicast, the
controller firmware must be version 18.00 or later, and the
20-COMM-E Series B adapter firmware must be revision
4.001 or later. Unicast is recommended whenever possible.
For the benefits of unicast operation, see
. If unicast is selected and the
20-COMM-E adapter does not support it, the connection
will be rejected. In this case, either update the 20-COMM-E
firmware to revision 4.001 or later, or uncheck the ‘Use
Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP’ checkbox.
