Modifying Parameter Data for an ArmorStart
The last configuration that will need to be done eventually, is the writing of
a parameter configuration change for an ArmorStart. This is done by first
equating a particular ArmorStart to a device number in the data array.
Again, this device number is determined by the Logix slot of the
communication card, ETherNetIP or CNet address of the communication
adapter and subnet slot of ArmorStart. The optional, Armor_Descriptor
field is extremely handy for doing a functional lookup of the device number.
Once the device number is determined, the parameter number to be
modified, must be obtained. The best way to do this, is to go to the
ArmorStart user manual and get the parameter number of the value to be
modified. The parameter numbers all start with 1 and are numbered
sequentially to the last parameter number. The user manual is important
because it will thoroughly describe each parameter, for example, whether or
not a parameter is writable and what the parameter limits/interpretation are.
Once the device and parameter number is obtained, the next step is to
modify the configuration data for that parameter. The following screen
capture shows the data array and particularly, the parameter 8 for Device 0.
