Connection Parameters
Table 6-3 Setting the connection parameters
The Requested Packet Interval (RPI)
is the rate at which the controller will
exchange data with the drive. The
G120 can operate with a RPI set to a
minimum of 5 ms. In this application
we will use a value of 10 ms.
Unicast is selected as the exchange
method.

Using IO Data
The IO data is available as an array of integers in the controller tags section of the
project tree. They are included as a tag list with the L5K file.
