Application Guide 4-5

For a Logix controller, a valid address consists of the ControlNet
module’s node number (1 to 99) followed by a space, a Logix
backplane number (usually 1) followed by a space, and a Logix slot
number.

Example: 99 1 99

ControlNet Tag Setup

• Message Trigger Address. The controller address that triggers a

message to display. This toggles between 0 and 1 in the
controller.

• Message Data Address. The starting address of the message data

displayed. The message data contains the trigger command that
the InView display recognizes (^T[message number]^M).

• Message Array Size. The size of the array (16 to 128 characters

for ControlNet) containing the message data. The maximum
array size is dependent on the controller and must be an even
integer.

IMPORTANT

All four tags for Message Trigger Address, Message
Data Address, Variable Trigger Address, Variable
Data Address, and the array sizes must be entered
and established in the controller as valid tags even if
they are not used.
