Tab 'EtherNet/IP Target - Connections'

Object: EtherNet/IP Target

The upper section of this tab displays a list of all configured connections. When there is an "Exclusive owner" connection in the EDS file, it is inserted automatically when adding the target. The configuration data for these connections can be changed in the lower part of the view.

The configuration data are defined in the EDS file. They are transmitted on opening the connection to the adapter.

RPI (ms)	Requested Packet Interval: Exchange interval of the input/output data
O -> T Size (Bytes)	Size of the producer data from the scanner to the adapter (Originator --> Target)
T -> O Size (Bytes)	Size of the consumer data from the adapter to the scanner (T --> O)
Proxy Config Size (Bytes)	Size of the proxy configuration data
Target Config Size (Bytes)	Size of the target configuration data
Connection Path	Address of the - configuration objects - input objects - output objects
Add Connection	Opens the New Connection dialog. The parameters for the new connection are determined here.
Delete Connection	Deletes the selected connection from the list
Edit Connection	Opens the Edit Connection dialog. The parameters for the existing connection are modified here.

Configuration Data
The table shows the connections with the configuration parameters from the EDS file. The connections are subdivided into configuration groups.
Raw data values	If the scaling parameters are defined in the EDS file for the data, then you can show the values as raw data or converted data. : The data is displayed without any conversion. In the case of Enum data types, the index of the enumeration value is shown. : The data is displayed with conversion. In the case of Enum data types, the enumeration value is shown.
Defaults	Resets to the default values
Value	Double-click to change the value. Depending of the data type, you can specify the value directly in the input field or select from a drop-down list. In the case of bit field data types and deactivated raw data values, a dialog opens for you to choose the individual bits. Only those bits can be selected that fall within defined minimum and maximum values. If bit field data types contain enumerations in the associated EDS file, then only these enumerations are shown with the associated bit positions. If a connection contains a parameterizable connection path in the EDS file, then here you can modify the different parameters of the respective connection.
