Use GuardPLC Controller as an Adapter Chapter 19
2. Modify the default output assembly properties, if desired, by
right-clicking the output assembly and choosing Properties.
3. Type the name for the output assembly in the Name field.
The Assembly ID can be any number from 120…183. All
Assembly IDs under the same EtherNet/IP folder must be
unique.
If the Run/Idle header box is checked, the assembly uses a
Run/Idle header. The default is checked. Typically, output
assemblies always use the Run/Idle header. Checking the
Run/Idle header box indicates that the first 4 bytes of the data
received by the GuardPLC controller contains the Run/Idle
header produced by the scanner. These 4 bytes are stored in the
beginning of the assembly buffer and you can use the associated
signal in the GuardPLC controller’s application logic that
depends on the scanner’s Run/Idle state.
If the Data initialization box is checked, the controller uses the
consumed initial values if the corresponding I/O connection
disconnects. If it is not checked, the controller does not use
initial values and the data stays in its last state. The default is
checked.
Connect Signals to the Adapter Assemblies
The Signal Connections dialog box is used to assign signals created in
the Signal Editor to the appropriate tab, either input or output.
1. To open the Signal Connections dialog box, right-click an
Assembly and choose Connect Signals.
