201-WA-DFNT ♦ ProLinx Wireless High Speed Wireless EtherNet/IP Gateway 1.2 Introduction Using the Sample ProSoft Configuration Builder Files The sample application uses two 6201-WA-DFNT modules to establish wireless communications between a ControlLogix PLC at a main site and a ControlLogix PLC located at a remote site. Both DFNT modules are configured as Clients. The following diagram illustrates this application.
Introduction 1.3 6201-WA-DFNT ♦ ProLinx Wireless High Speed Wireless EtherNet/IP Gateway About Transmission Casts The sample uses a UNICAST transmission type. UNICAST means that you set up Produce and Consume Commands that transfer or receive data between two individual modules. For example, a Produce command can specify that this data is only produced to one particular consuming module based on the consuming modules IP address.
