Chapter 5: Intelligent Box (IBox) Instructions
NETCFG Network Configuration (NETCFG) (IB-700)
1
Network Config defines all the common information necessary for performing RX/WX
Networking using the NETRX and NETWX IBox instructions via a local CPU serial port,
230
DCM or ECOM module.
2
240
You must have the Network Config
250-1
instruction at the top of your ladder/stage
3
260
program with any other configuration
IBoxes.
4
DS5
Used
If you use more than one local serial port,
N/A
HPP
DCM or ECOM in your PLC for RX/WX
5
Networking, you must have a different
Network Config instruction and Network #
for EACH RX/WX network in your system
6
that utilizes any NETRX/NETWX IBox
instructions.
7
The 2nd parameter "CPU Port or Slot" is the same value as in the high byte of the first LD
instruction if you were coding the RX or WX rung yourself. This value is CPU and port
8
specific. Use KF1 for local CPU serial port 2. Use K3 if a DCM or ECOM is located in slot 3
of a local 205 base.
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by the Network Config IBox
9
and MUST BE UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in
your program.
