3.5 Configure the RBE2-8
If you are continuing from step 3.4, the resulting New Module screen is used to configure the network con-
nection between the RBE2-8 and your controller. If you need to open the screen to perform this task at a later
time, right click on the unit in the project tree and then select “Properties” from the drop-down menu
Tabs that are not listed in the steps below are filled with reasonable defaults by the EDS file.
3.5.1 General Tab
The Name, Description, and IP address of the device must be specified here. The
[Change...]
button allows you
to change the Module Definition if needed.
3.5.2 Connection Tab
The default RPI time is eight milliseconds. This value can be changed in this tab. The minimum acceptable
value is one millisecond. The maximum value is 3200 milliseconds.
3.6 Buffering the I/O Data
Input and output data is transferred asynchronously to the program scan. The input data tags should be buff-
ered with Synchronous Copy File instructions to guarantee stable data during the program scan.
