Communication with Devices
The old DeviceLogix Ladder Editor communicates with the devices to
accomplish the following:
• Determine device type
• Get communication parameters
• Set communication parameters
• Download configuration to the device
• Upload configuration from the device
• Modify function block parameters during animation (for
example, Preset value and Accumulated counts for counters or
Preset time and Elapsed time for timers)
• Force I/O values
• Start or Stop local logic (toggle Logic Enabled)
• Display device faults during animation
• Clear I/O faults
• Reset the device
Note that all communication between the old DeviceLogix Ladder
Editor and the device is done using explicit messaging connections.
