EtherNet/IP Communications Module

Step 6.

In the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) field, set the
value to 5.0 milliseconds or greater. This value
determines the maximum interval that a controller should
use to move data to or from the module. To conserve
bandwidth, use higher values for communicating with low
priority devices.

Step 7.

Click Finish>>. The new node (“SP600” in this example)
now appears under the scanner or bridge (“1756-ENBT”
in this example) in the I/O Configuration folder.

If you double-click the Data Types folder and then double-
click on the Module-Defined folder, you will see that
module-defined data types and tags have been
automatically created. After you save and download the
configuration, these tags allow you to access the Input
and Output data of the module via the controller’s ladder
logic.
