Configuring the 842 E encoder using RSLogix 5000 Chapter 6

Connection tab

You should not have to change any settings on the Connection tab. For reference,

these are the settings:

Requested Packet Interval: Specify the number of milliseconds between

requests for information from the controller to the encoder. The encoder may

provide data on a shorter interval, but if no data is received the controller asks the

encoder for a status update. Minimum setting is 2 ms and the maximum setting is

750 ms.

Inhibit Module: When checked, the encoder is not polled for information, and

any information provided will be ignored by the controller.

Major fault on controller if connection fails while in run mode: Check this

box if a connection failure should be considered a major fault.

Use Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP: Unicast connections are point to

point connections. Multicast connections are considered one to many. Unicast

reduces the amount of network bandwidth used.

Module fault: Fault messages will appear in this box.
