8.6.3 Configuring the Host PLC
On the host PLC, install the DXM using an EDS file or by using the following parameters:
•
Assembly1: Originator to DXM = Instance 112, 456 bytes (228 words)
•
Assembly2: DXM to Originator = Instance 100, 456 bytes (228 words)
The Originator is the host PLC system, and the DXM is the DXM. The host system sees the DXM as a generic device with
the product name of Banner DXM (ProdType: 43 - Generic Device, ProdName: Banner DXM).
Important:
Do not set the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) any faster than 150 ms.
