NOTE:
The user will need to enter the exact connection parameters before the
module will establish a class 1 connection with the Logix controller.
Next the user needs to 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.

Once the module has been added to the RSLogix 5000 IO tree the user must assign the User
Defined Types (UDTs) to the input and output assemblies. The user can import the required
UDTs by right-clicking on
User-Defined
sub-folder in the
Data Types
folder of the IO tree and
selecting
Import Data Type
. The assemblies are then assigned to the UDTs with a ladder copy
instruction (COP) as shown in the figure below.
