Transfer Mode
Slave (PLC
Writes)
Determines the type of data transfer from the PLC
to UE410-EN3.
Slave (PLC Writes) — PLC writes to the UE410-EN3

PLC IP Address 0.0.0.0 Specifies the PLC address in standard format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
The selected data sets are transferred here.
PLC Device ID 1 Specifies the PLC device ID (typically 1).
Settings for the operating mode Master (Write to PLC):
Maximum PLC
Update Rate
40 Defines the maximum rate (the minimum time interval) for
sending the data sets to the PLC. Settings occur dependent on
the PLC processing speed.
Minimum = 10 msec. Maximum = 65535 msec. The default
value of 40 msec. is suitable for most PLCs.
Note: If this value is greater than the Heartbeat Update Interval,
the Heartbeat Update Interval is increased (slowed down) to
this value.
Enable Heartbeat
Message
Deactivated
Activates updating of the active data sets with the set Heart-
beat Update Rate.
Note: Either this option or Update Immediately on Status/Confi-
