2.Double-click on the node address (#) that you want to change, or select the node address and click on the Edit Button. A dialogue box like the one be- low will appear.

3.Input the value, then click on the OK Button.

2.The message monitoring timer serves as a timeout monitor for message communications (both explicit and FINS). Settings can be made for each device to which messages are to be sent. When the response from the tar- get device is slow, the setting value must be increased. This is often the case when FINS messages are sent across networks, because the re- sponse time is typically slow. However, when the setting is increased, sub- sequent messages cannot be sent to the same device until it is finished waiting for the response.

Whereas the DeviceNet Unit monitors the message time-out with this tim- er, the CPU Unit monitors with the response monitor time set in the CMND/ SEND/RECV instruction. There is thus no effect when only one of them, i.e., only the message monitoring timer or only the response monitor time in the CMND/SEND/RECV instruction, is increased or decreased. Set the
