3 In the dialog box, click a parameter and then enter a value for the parameter.
There are four configurable parameters for each I/O connection in ProSoft
Configuration Builder.
Specifies the starting address within the gateway’s virtual
database for data transferred from the gateway to the PLC.
Specifies the number of Integers being transferred to the
PLC's input image (248 integers max).

5.2.3 Configuring EIP Class 3 Client[x]/UClient Connection
The PLX32-EIP-MBTCP-UA supports two connected clients and one
unconnected client (most devices use connected clients; be sure refer to the user
manual for the target device for verification).
Use the EIP Class 3 Client [x] connections when the gateway is acting as a
client/master initiating message instructions to the server/slave devices. The
PLX32-EIP-MBTCP-UA EIP protocol supports three connected client
connections. Typical applications include SCADA systems, and SLC
communication.
Use the EIP Class 3 UClient connection when the gateway is acting as a
client/master initiating message instructions to the server/slave devices. The
PLX32-EIP-MBTCP-UA EIP protocol supports one unconnected client
connection. Unconnected messaging is a type of EtherNet/IP explicit
messaging that uses TCP/IP implementation. Certain devices, such as the
AB Power Monitor 3000 series B, support unconnected messaging. Check
your device documentation for further information about its EtherNet/IP
implementation.
