Object Description
The Parameter Object provides an interface to the configuration data of the module. It can provide all
the information necessary to define and describe each of the module configuration parameters, as well
as a full description of each parameter, including minimum and maximum values and a text string de-
scribing the parameter. Configuration tools, such as RSNetworx, can extract information about the Ap-
plication Data Instances (ADIs) and present them with their actual name and range to the user.
Since this process may be somewhat time consuming, especially when using the serial host interface, it
is possible to disable support for this functionality in the EtherNet/IP Host Object.
Each parameter is represented by one instance. Instance numbers start at 1, and are incremented by one,
with no gaps in the list. Due to limitations imposed by the CIP standard, ADIs containing multiple ele-
ments (i.e. arrays etc.) cannot be represented through this object. In such cases, default values will be
returned, see “Default Values” on page 76.
