6-1 Functions Common to All Slave Units
This section describes the functions common to all EtherNet/IP Slave Units
and the procedures for using these functions.
6-1-1 Automatic Baud Rate Detection
Description The EtherNet/IP Slave Units are automatically set to the same baud rate as
the hub. It is not necessary to set the baud rate separately for any Slave Unit.
The baud rate is set when communications is established with the hub after
the power is turned ON. The baud rate setting is stored in memory until the
power is turned ON again or until the Master Unit baud rate setting is
changed.
6-1-2 Hold/Clear Outputs
Description Output Units can be set to hold or clear outputs when an error occurs.
Procedure Using
Network Configurator
1,2,3... 1. Turn ON the power to the EtherNet/IP Slave Unit.
2. Double-click the icon of the Slave Unit to set in the Network Edit Device Pa-
rameters Window to open the Configuration Window. (Alternatively, right-
click the icon and select Parameters - Edit from the pop-up menu.)
3. The fault action (holding or clearing an output for a communications error)
will be displayed for each output in the Fault Action Setting Group. Select
Hold Last State or Clear Data for the terminals and then click the OK But-
ton.
6-1-3 I/O Power Status Monitor
Description Outputs can be set to be held or cleared when an error occurs in the Output
Unit.
Clear Clears all output data from the Master Unit to 0 when a communica-
tions error occurs.
Hold Holds all output data from the Master Unit at its current status when a
communications error occurs.
