Specify the Type of Digital Point that is being Controlled
This topic only applies to EtherNet/IP Digital Points that are configured to operate as output points (in order to control plant). For more information, see Configure Digital Points.
When you control an EtherNet/IP digital point, you have to specify the type of data item that exists on the controller.
Use the Type combo box on the Control tab to select the type of point that is being controlled.
If the specified type of the digital point does not match that of the data item on the controller, the control action will fail.
The control action will also fail if the value at which the point is being controlled is too high for that type of data item. For example, if the type of data that exists on the controller is a SInt (a short integer of 8 bits) but the Type property is set to an option for data of a larger size (such as the Signed 16-bit integer option), attempts to control the point would fail.
