2. Under Incoming Cyclic I/O Data, in the Location for Incoming Data box, type
the starting address where the data sent by the I/O controller each RPI will be written.
Use the Browse button to use the Address Selection Tool to find the location you
want to use.
Notice that the length of the Output Data is specified in the PLC, not in RMCTools.
Configuration Data
When establishing an Input/Output or Input Only connection, the PLC can use
Configuration Data to override the Address of Outgoing Data and Location for
Incoming Data fields in RMCTools as described in the Input Data and Output Data
sections above. For most applications, it is easier to leave RMCTools in control of these
settings, and therefore Configuration Data is not used.
Input/Output Connections:
To override the Address of Outgoing Data and Location for Incoming Data fields for
an Input/Output connection, select the Input/Output with Config connection type from
the EDS file, and then fill in the following fields in your PLC’s EtherNet/IP configuration
tool:
Byte Parameter

0
Produced Address – File These fields override the Address of Outgoing Data
setting in RMCTools.

Input Only connections:
To override the Address of Outgoing Data field for an Input Only connection, select
the Input Only with Config connection type from the EDS file, and then fill in the
following fields in your PLC’s EtherNet/IP configuration tool:

Using a Generic EDS File
Some PLC EtherNet/IP configuration tools do not support importing third-party EDS files.
In these cases, additional connection configuration information usually must be entered
into a generic device template. The following chart provides the correct values for various
connection settings that may be required by your EtherNet/IP configuration tool:
