Chapter 4 Define a module component
76 Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-RM084S-EN-P - March 2015
In L5K format, forces appear as arrays of bytes under the InputForceData and
OutputForceData attributes of the connection list. In L5X format, forces appear
as arrays of bytes under the <ForceData> elements in the <InputTag> and
<OutputTag> elements.
Important:
Do not modify forces in the import/export file. Use the programming
software to enter and enable forces.
Module connection attributes
Attribute Description
Name L5X only. Specify the name of the connection.
In L5K, the name is an element of the statement.
Rate L5K only. Specify the requested packet interval (RPI) rate in microseconds.
RPI L5X only. Specify the requested packet interval rate in microseconds.
InputCxnPoint Specify the input connection point for the primary connection (0...255).
InputSize Specify the input size (0...255).
OutputCxnPoint Specify the output connection point for the primary connection (0...255).
OutputSize Specify the output size (0...255).
Unicast
Specify if the EtherNet/IP connection is unicast. For L5K, specify yes for unicast or no to remain multicast. For L5X,
specify true or false.
On export, only appears if the path to the unicast supported I/O module crosses an EtherNet/IP network.
EventID Specify the event ID if used in conjunction with an event task.
ControlNetScheduled
Specify how the connection is scheduled. Specify yes to schedule over ControlNet or no to connect unscheduled. This
attribute is only used if the path from the module to the controller uses ControlNet. For L5X format specify true or false.
Type
L5X only. Specify the type of connection: Input, Output, MotionSync, MotionAsync, MotionEvent, SafetyInput, or
SafetyOutput.
Priority Indicates the rank of the input production.
Valid values = Scheduled (default) or High.
InputConnectionType Indicates the type of input production.
Valid values = Multicast (default) or Unicast.
OutputRedundantOwner Indicates if the output production is a redundant owner.
InputProductionTrigger Indicates the input production trigger.
Valid values = Cyclic, COS, or Application.
ConnectionPath Indicates the target connection path.
InputTagSuffix Identifies the suffix for the Input Tag.
OutputTagSuffix Identifies the suffix for the Output Tag
