General Tab The general panel describes the device, its definition and its IP address.
1. Make the four changes shown below and click Apply.
a. Enter a name for the module. In this example, the name is RFID_1. You
may have multiple modules, so be sure to give it a brief but descriptive
name. The name that you assign to the module appears in the
Controller Organizer navigation pane. The name will also appear in the
description of the tags, which are described below.
b. Enter a description of the module or its function.
c. Set the EtherNet Address for the module. In this example, the address is
192.168.1.115. The 115 reflects the address of the three rotary switches
on the Bul. 56RF interface block.
d. The Data Format can be left as SINT (preferred) or changed to INT
(for compatibility with non-Rockwell RFID tags).
TIP A SINT is a signed single byte integer, which can represent numbers from -
255…255 in decimal format (-F…FF in hexadecimal format). An INT is a
signed two byte integer, which can represent numbers from -65535…65535
in decimal format (-FFFF…FFFF in hexadecimal format).
