Security Options
For enhanced security, you can disable specific functionalities on an Ethernet
communication module as desired.
MSG Instruction You can use a CIP™ Generic MSG to disable many of the functionalities on a
module. This CIP Generic MSG originates in the controller and is sent to the
communication module receiving the change.
Configure the MSG Communication Path
While the Configuration tab on the Message Configuration dialog requires
specific information to disable or enable a specific feature, the method for
configuring the message communication path is the same for all features.
Communication goes through the backplane and Ethernet ports. When you
configure the communication path, the values in the path specify backplane or
Ethernet port:
•1 - Backplane
• 2 - Ethernet port
