Changing the Network Type

Publication 2711E-6.12 – August 1997

Note: If you convert shared tags, this may make them invalid for
the other applications that are using them. Unused tags are not
converted and remain as Remote I/O tags.

Note: If you convert an application from Remote I/O to Modbus,
or vice-versa, the tag addresses will be invalid for the network to
which you are converting. Change the tag addresses to match the
network type.

4. Specify a node name and scan class if required.

You can specify a node name and scan class when you do the
conversion, or you can leave them blank. If you enter a node
name and scan class, they will be used in all the tags that are
converted. In addition, the node and scan class will be created for
you with the default settings. You can change the settings to suit
your application later.

If you leave the Node Name and Scan Class fields blank, you will
have to create the nodes and scan classes that your tags will use,
then update each tag with the node and scan class names that you
have created. The converted tags will have a blank node and scan
class name.
