Driver Specific Map Descriptor Parameters
Column Title
Function
Legal Values
Node_Name
Name of Node to fetch data
from
One of the node names specified in “Client Node
Descriptor” above
IO_Data_Type
Data type of IO image
Use same as used in RSLogix to add the module
INT (16-bit integer)
SINT (8-bit signed)
DINT (32-bit double)
REAL (32-bit float)
DA_Name_Start
1
Name of Data Array to include in
IO image data
One of the Data Array names from Section 3.2. Data
Arrays must be named as follows:
DaName_x where x is a positive integer value e.g.
DaName_1
DA_Count
Number of Data Arrays to
include in IO image data
1-200
2
Scan_Interval
Rate at which IO image data is
updated.
Use twice the rate of RPI,
e.g.: RPI = 0.4s, Scan_Interval=0.2s
1
Refer to Appendix C.4 for information specific to naming Logix driver Data Arrays.

The update rate decreases as the number of blocks go up. For 25 blocks the update rate is 25*RPI = 25*0.1 = 2.5 seconds.
