Chapter 6 Control I/O
Set the Requested Packet
Interval (RPI)
When you configure an I/O module, you define the requested packet interval
(RPI) rate for the module. Only data-producing modules require an RPI. For
example, a local EtherNet/IP communication module requires no RPI
because it produces no data for the system but acts only as a bridge.
To set an RPI, perform this procedure.
1. Make sure the module is installed, started and connected to the
con
troller via a serial, or other network, connection.
2. In the Controller Organizer of RSLogix 5000 programming software,
righ
t-click the EtherNet/IP module and choose Properties.
The Module Properties dialog box appears.
3. Click the Connection tab.
