Figure 62 shows the Setup screen for the MSG instruction on rung 6. The source
information is contained in the “This Controller” field. The “Data Table Address” is the
register in the PLC where the new value is to be obtained. Note that the “Size in
Elements” is 1 because the Sensor Filter value is an integer data type that occupies
register N30:18 in the Ethernet product. The Channel is 0 because this is the RS-232 port
on the SLC to which the ENI is connected.

The destination information is shown in the “Target Device” field. The Message
Timeout specifies the amount of time that the MSG instruction will wait for the Ethernet
product to respond. Because of the way the ENI has been configured, a Local Node
Address of 9 corresponds to IP address 192.168.10.201.
