Chapter 2 Configure and Startup
Configure the Module
The module supports Implicit Messaging and Explicit Messaging for
EtherNet/IP communication.
Use Implicit Messaging to transfer I/O process data cyclically through assembly
objects and an existing connection.
Use Explicit Messaging to transfer data with low priority, non time-critical, and
configuration and through acyclical messages.
Connections and Assembly Objects
The module uses the connection types Data and Listen Only for exchanging I/O
process data and communication through Implicit Messaging.
By selecting the corresponding instance ID of the assembly object, you can decide
how many items of I/O process data the module makes available to the user.
The ArmorBlock I/O 16-channel configurable digital module provides the
following connections and assembly IDs:
Configuration Parameters
To transfer the configuration parameters, the module uses different assembly
objects depending on the module type. See Connections and Assembly Objects
on page 12 for more information.
Each module has a fixed number of configuration parameters. This variable is
determined by the respective configuration assembly instance.
Length of the configuration parameters is 65 words (130 bytes).
