and PLC to ASCII direction will not be used.
1. Set up the 490NBX as a Generic Ethernet Module into the Ethernet module I/O tree
2. Set the Data Format to “Data SINT”
3. Input Assembly: 100 (0x64) - Input Size: 416 Bytes
4. Output Assembly: 112 (0x70) - Output Size: 416 Bytes
5. Configuration Assembly: Any number (unused) - Configuration Size: 0 bytes
