Follow these steps to configure per point timestamping and enable COS.
1. On the New Module dialog box, click Change to display the Module
Definition dialog box.
2. Use the table below to choose a connection format and input data type
from the Connection and Input Data pull-down menus.
To enable timestamping, choose Timestamp Data as the input data type.
Connection Format Input Data Data Return
Data Timestamp Data Module returns input data with COS timestamps in CIP Sync system
time.
Data Module returns input data without COS timestamps. This format is
useful when the highest possible throughput is required, and
timestamps are not required.
Data with Event Timestamp Data Results in two input connections:
• Connection to return input data with COS timestamps in CIP Sync
system time.
• Connection to initiate event tasks. See page 93
.
Listen Only Timestamp Data These formats have the same definition as those above except that
they are Listen-only connections.
Data
Listen Only with Event Timestamp Data
You can change the connection format at any time after creating a new
module except when you are online. The AOP will apply all the configuration
data and create the tags required for the new connection format.
Opens the Module Definition dialog box.
