After changing the configuration tags in this chapter you must then send
them to the module. To do this you may perform any of these operations:
1. Inhibit then un-inhibit the module via the module properties dialog,
Connection Tab
2. Reset the module via the modules properties dialog. Module Info tab.
3. Reset the module via ladder logic. See the “DoReset” rung in the
sample ladder project.
4. Perform a “Set Attribute All” or Module Reconfigure message
instruction via ladder logic. Refer to your sample program for information
about the “DoSetAttrAll” command.
Note: If an invalid configuration is sent to the module a connection error
will occur. See chapter 7 for a list of error codes.
