Device Definition – Overview view parameters (5034-UB8F)

The
Overview
 view in the Device Definition dialog includes these parameters:
Parameter
Description
Device Type
Displays the device catalog number and type.
Name
Enter an IEC 61131 compliant device name.
Description
Enter the description of the device.
Slot
Specifies the slot number where the device resides.
Series
Specifies the series of the device.
Revision
Specifies the major and minor revisions of the device. The valid range for minor revision is 001...255.
Electronic Keying
Defines the electronic keying that is used for the device.
Electronic keying compares the device that is defined in the project to the installed device. If keying fails, a fault occurs.
Valid values include:
  • Exact Match
  • Compatible Module
  • Disable Keying
ATTENTION: Be cautious when using Disable Keying. If used incorrectly, this option can lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss. We strongly recommend that you do not use Disable Keying.
If you use Disable Keying, you must take full responsibility for understanding whether the device being used can fulfill the functional requirements of the application.
For more detailed information on Electronic Keying, see Electronic Keying in Logix 5000 Control Systems Application Technique, publication LOGIX-AT001.
Connection
Sets the connection type or the communication format.
Available options are:
  • Data
  • Listen Only Data
  • Data with Events
  • Listen Only Data with Events
MAOC Compatible Data
Specifies whether the data is compatible with Motion Arm Output Cam (MAOC) instruction.
If the data is not compatible with MAOC, you cannot use this module with MAOC instruction.
Some point assignment options are not available when Yes is selected.
Timestamp
Specifies how the timestamp information is saved and reported for the digital input events.
  • Per Point – Enables timestamping for the points configured as Digital Input, Timestamp only. Records timestamps for up to 2 input transitions per point, one for Off-to-On transition and another for On-to-Off transition. These timestamps are reported in Input tag on a per point basis.
    This option is only available when MAOC Compatible Data is set to No.
  • FIFO – Enables timestamping for the points configured as Digital Input, FIFO only. Records timestamps for multiple input points in onboard buffer for up to 256 timestamp events. Events are recorded and retrieved in order (first-in, first out), allowing precise tracking of multiple fast transitions.
    This option is only available if any of the following conditions are true:
    • The Connection is configured as Data or Listen Only Data.
    • The MAOC Compatible Data is set to No.
  • None – Disables timestamping. The module does not record timestamps for input points in Data connection.
    This option is only available when MAOC Compatible Data is set to Yes.
