Configuring the 842 E encoder using RSLogix 5000
Chapter 6
Connection tab
You should not have to change any settings on the
Connection
tab. For reference,
these are the settings:
Requested Packet Interval:
Specify the number of milliseconds between
requests for information from the controller to the encoder. The encoder may
provide data on a shorter interval, but if no data is received the controller asks the
encoder for a status update. Minimum setting is 2 ms and the maximum setting is
750 ms.
Inhibit Module:
When checked, the encoder is not polled for information, and
any information provided will be ignored by the controller.
Major fault on controller if connection fails while in run mode
: Check this
box if a connection failure should be considered a major fault.
Use Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP:
Unicast connections are point to
point connections. Multicast connections are considered one to many. Unicast
reduces the amount of network bandwidth used.
Module fault
: Fault messages will appear in this box.
