3-6 Creating a Complete Import/Export File
NodeAddress
Specify the ControlNet node address (1-99) or the remote I/O rack address (0-63) of
the module.
Specify:
NodeAddress := number
Group
If the module is a remote I/O module, specify the starting group (0-7). For a block-transfer
module, this is the module group number under the remote I/O adapter.
Specify:
Group := number
CommMethod
Specify the method of connecting to the module. See chapter A, Valid CommMethod and
ConfigMethod Values.
Specify:
CommMethod := number
ConfigMethod
Specify the method of configuring the module. See chapter A, Valid CommMethod and
ConfigMethod Values.
Specify:
ConfigMethod := number
Mode
Select a specific mode by setting the appropriate bit.
Set: For:
0 fault in the module causes major fault
in controller
2 inhibit the module
Specify:
Mode := number
CompatibleModule
Specify whether to connect to a compatible module based on the minor revision
(
value = 1) or to an exact match of the module ( value = 0).
If you specify exact for KeyMask (below), set CompatibleModule to
2#0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000.
If you specify compatible for KeyMask (below), set CompatibleModule to
2#0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_1000_0000.
Specify:
CompatibleModule := value
KeyMask
Specify whether to connect to the exact module that matches the electronic keying
information (vendor, product code, product type, major revision, minor revision). No keying
will connect to any module.
Specify: To:
2#0000_0000_0000_0000 disable keying
2#0000_0000_0001_1111 require a replacement module to be compatible
2#0000_0000_0001_1111 require a replacement module to be an exact match
The values for compatible module and for exact match are the same because this attribute
is used in conjunction with CompatibleModule (above) to distinguish between compatible
module or exact match.
Specify:
KeyMask := hex_string
PrimCxnInputSize
Specify the size of the data associated with the primary input connection (0-500 bytes).
Specify:
PrimCxnInputSize := number
PrimCxnOutputSize
Specify the size of the data associated with the primary output connection (0-496 bytes).
Specify:
PrimCxnOutputSize := number
SecCxnInputSize
Specify the size of the data associated with the secondary input connection (0-104 bytes).
Typically, there is one I/O connection on a module (primary connection). If there are two,
the second connection is the secondary connection.
Specify:
SecCxnInputSize := number
SecCxnOutputSize
Specify the size of the data associated with the secondary input connection (always 0).
Typically, there is one I/O connection on a module (primary connection). If there are two,
the second connection is the secondary connection.
Specify:
SecCxnOutputSize := number
