Determine Parameters
To configure your system, there is a possibility that you have to
determine produced and consumed I/O assemblies. Refer to product
specific publications to help you determine which parameters are
applicable. The following sections help you determine values for
common DeviceLogix parameters.
Determine Produced I/O Assembly
The produced I/O assembly parameter lets you select how much data
gets produced across the network. In order to have DeviceLogix
specific data produced by the device, select Local Logic Assembly.
You must make sure that the settings in the scanner’s scanlist match
your selection here. The following example illustrates this concept for
an 8in/8out MaXum block.
TIP
In legacy products, network I/O is referred to as CNB
(Consumed Network Bits) and PNB (Produced Network Bits)
respectively. In the latest set of products, network I/O is called
Network Input and Network Output. The data types could be
Boolean, DINT, REAL, etc.
