Figure 40. Industrial Ethernet view
The Industrial Ethernet view of the PC Interface allows configuration of the Virtual Status Outputs, which offer the same
functionality as Status Outputs (added on the Equipment view) over the network (see
Status Output Signal Conventions
on page 95 and
on page 95 for detailed information). Up to 64 Virtual Status Outputs can
be added for any configuration using Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP Input Assemblies, Ethernet/IP Explicit Messages, and PCCC
protocols.
To access the Industrial Ethernet view:
1. Click Network Settings.
2. Select Enable Network Interface.
3. Adjust any settings, if necessary (see
on page 46).
4. Click OK.
Use the Auto Configure function, located on the Industrial Ethernet view of the PC Interface, to automatically configure
the Virtual Status Outputs to a set of commonly used functions, based on the current configuration. Click
in the
Function column next to any of the VOx cells to add a Virtual Status Output manually. Functions of all Virtual Status
Outputs can be modified by clicking on the button that contains the name of the function of the Virtual Status Output or by
clicking Edit under the Properties table when VOx is selected.
