NOTE: You will need to enter the exact connection parameters before the
module will establish a class 1 connection with the Logix controller.
Next, add the connection requested packet interval (RPI). This is the rate at which the input
and output assemblies are exchanged. The recommended value is 500ms. Refer to the
technical specification section in this document for further details on the limits of the RPI.
NOTE: Although the module is capable of running with an RPI of 10ms, it is
recommended to set the RPI to 500ms to avoid unnecessary loading of the
module processor.
