This example shows the 1784-PCIDS card as a virtual module in the
SoftLogix Chassis Monitor. The status indicators on the virtual monitor
emulate a 1756-DNB communication module.
This chassis monitor has a 1784-PCIDS card installed in Slot 3.
IMPORTANT
When you add a 1784-PCIDS card to the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor, the
card must be connected to a valid, powered DeviceNet network. The
baud rate you choose for the card must be the same as the baud rate
for the DeviceNet network, otherwise, the card fails to insert in the
SoftLogix Chassis Monitor.
