3.Open the message instruction and enter the appropriate variables. The variables are described in Table 4.1.

Table 4.1 Message Instruction Variables for Configuring ENI Data Parameters

Variable

Setting

 

 

This Controller Parameters:

 

 

Communication

For the ENI configuration, this must be set to:

Command

485CIF for MicroLogix and SLC

 

an unprotected write command for CompactLogix and

 

PLC-5

 

 

Data Table Address

In this example we are using integer file 50, element 5

 

(instruction starts at N50:5).

 

 

Size in Elements

For all ENI TCP/IP data configuration, always set this to 4 (4

 

words).

 

 

Channel

The RS-232 communication channel that is connected to the

 

ENI, typically 0 or 1.

 

 

Target Device Parameters:

 

 

Message Timeout

Leave this value at the default.

 

 

Data Table Offset

Always 0.

 

 

Local Node Addr (dec).

This is the destination node address, in this example it is 101.

 

 

Local/Remote

Always Local.

 

 

4.With the controller in Run, initiate the message. The new TCP/IP information is transmitted to the ENI.

ATTENTION

!

At this point, the new configuration has NOT been saved to permanent memory. See Node 248 information on page 4-11for instructions.
