Broadcast Button
This functionality for RSLogix 5000 software, beginning with version 18,
enhances the ability to define the route and message type that are required to
send a message to its destination. You still can type in a path, such as ‘2,255’.
However, manually entering a path is problematic for two reasons:
• The number entered into the path may be confusing.
• It’s error-prone, as you may forget to set up other conditions, such as
system protocol and message type.
The Broadcast button, when enabled, allows you to default the path by selecting
an available channel(s) in a combo box. The number of channels listed in the
combo box depends on the current controller.
