4.2 Add the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2 (continued)
6) Set the following parameters in the Module Properties window. All parameters not listed here are optional.
Figure T4.3 shows a completed screen.
Figure T4.3 Configuration Screen - Generic Device
Name:
A descriptive name for the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2
Comm Format:
Data - INT
The Comm Format defaults to Data - DINT. The SMD23E2 or SMD24E2 will not be
able to communicate with the host controller if this format is not changed when the
device is added to the system. Once added, the Comm Format cannot be changed. The
device must be deleted and again added to the project if the Comm Format is incorrect.
IP Address:
Must be the address you set for the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2. Refer to the
task chapter starting on page 95 for information on setting the IP Address of the
unit.
Input:
Assembly Instance = 100, Size = 10 words.
Output:
Assembly Instance = 150, Size = 10 words.
Configuration:
Assembly Instance = 110, Size = 0
7) Verify that the “Open Module Properties” check box is selected and click on [OK]. The Module Properties
window will open. You can set the RPI time as required for your system in this window. The minimum RPI
time for an SMD23E2 or SMD24E2 is 2 milliseconds. When done, click on [OK] to complete the setup.
Error Code 16#0109
The PLC will generate an Error Code 16#0109 when the Comm Format parameter is not changed from its
default of “Data-DINT” to “Data-INT”. This is the most common cause of communication failures with the
SMD23E2 or SMD24E2.
