After changing the configuration tags in this chapter, you must then send them to
the module. To do this you may perform any of these operations:
1. Inhibit, then un-inhibit, the module via the Module Properties dialog;
Connection Tab.
2. Reset the module via the Module Properties dialog; Module Info tab.
3. Reset the module via ladder logic. See the DoReset rung in the sample ladder
project.
4. Perform a Set Attribute All or Module Reconfigure message instruction via
ladder logic. Refer to your sample program for information about the
DoSetAttrAll command.
NOTE
If an invalid configuration is sent to the module a connection error will
occur. See chapter 7 for a list of error codes.
