5. Specify the connection parameter; use this tab to define
controller-to-module behavior.
6. Click OK.
Field Description
Requested Packet Interval (RPI) Enter the requested rate of packet arrival (connection update rate). The connection is scheduled to move data to or from the
module at least this often. The minimum and maximum RPI values are shown parenthetically to the right of the box/spin control.
The RPI is determined by the Owner Controller of a module. If a Listen Only connection is established, the RPI for that connection
cannot be faster than the fastest RPI configured for all owner controllers (for input modules), or faster than the RPI configured for
the one owner controller (for output modules).
Inhibit Module Check/clear this box to inhibit/uninhibit your connection to the module. Inhibiting the module causes the connection to the
module to be broken.
Major Fault on Controller If Connection Fails
When in Run Mode Check this box to configure the controller so that failure of the connection to this module causes a major fault on the controller.
TIP The data on this tab comes directly from the controller. This tab
displays information about the condition of the connection between
the module and the controller.
IMPORTANT You must specify an RPI of at least 50.0 ms for each 1789-SIM module
or the connection to the module fails. Because this module uses the
generic module profile, the default RPI is 5.0 ms.
