Description

Requested Packet Interval (RPI)

Enter an RPI value or use the default.

Inhibit Module

Check the box to prevent communication between the owner-controller and the module. This

option lets the module be maintained without faults being reported to the controller.

Major Fault On Controller If Connection Fails While in Run Mode

Check the box to create a major fault if there is a connection failure with the module while in

Run mode.
For important information on this checkbox, see ‘Configure a Major Fault to Occur’ in the

.

Use Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP

Choose between Unicast and Multicast for EtherNet/IP connections. This checkbox is enabled

when the module supports Unicast at the current revision and any part of the module path

crosses EtherNet/IP.
It is checked and dimmed when the module supports only Unicast and any part of the module

path crosses the EtherNet/IP network.
The checkbox is not checked and dimmed if these conditions are true:

The module’s current revision does not support Unicast. Note that in the case of a module

that is Multicast only, no revision supports Unicast.

The module is proxied (for example, 1734, 1738 and 1794 modules) and the parent’s

current revision does not support Unicast.

Unicast is not supported with ControlLogix Redundancy, version 19.52.
